There are three types of eBenefits account: Anonymous, Basic & Premium. There is no need to login for Anonymous and it will provide very little access. Basic & Premium accounts require login and Basic will provide limited access while Premium will provide unlimited access.
To get login in Basic or Premium account, you will need the registration first. If you are not yet registered, then first get registered for a Premium Account because it will provide unlimited access to all the advantages available in the portal. To get registered, go on www.ebenefits.va.gov and click on the Register link.
The first requirement for the registration is that you have to be registered for DEERS (Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System). The veterans and service members who had join service since 1982 had got automatic enrollment in DEERS, so nothing to worry for that people. Those who served before 1982 can be included from VA/DoD records.
There is also a requirement of DoD Self-Service (DS) logon to get eBenefits. With a DS logon, one can get access to various websites including many DoD and VA sites, by using a single user name and password. People who are already registered in DEERS can obtain DS Logon. DS logon can also be obtained by veteran’s spouses and all DoD sponsors. Once you get the DS Logon, it will be valid for your whole life.
Basic Account: One can get an account immediately by applying online without verification of identity. VA will automatically offer a Basic DS Logon, if the person registers for a Basic account. A Basic account allows you to customize the site and view general eBenefits information to benefits yourself according to your needs.
