Claim Assist Portal

CAP is closing October 25, 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is announcing the upcoming decommissioning of the Claims Assist Portal (CAP) on October 25, 2026.

CAP has provided Veterans with a convenient digital option for securely submitting additional information needed to support their claims. As VA continues modernizing and integrating services, VA.gov Home | Veterans Affairs will now serve as the primary platform for all digital claim‑related submissions.

Veterans who previously received an active CAP ID will continue to have access to submit their responses through October 25, 2026. These submissions will be processed normally. After this date, CAP will no longer be able to receive Veteran submissions, as the platform will be fully decommissioned.

We appreciate your understanding as we transition to a more unified and modern online experience designed to better support Veterans.

After October 25, 2026, to continue your claim or submit information, please visit VA.gov Home | Veterans Affairs using the accessible link below:

Thank you for your patience and for your continued trust in VA.
