Our History
In March 2007, the President's Commission on Care for Returning Wounded Warriors (Dole/Shalala) was established by Executive Order 13426. The Commission recommended the creation of a Web portal that would provide Service Members, Veterans, their families, and authorized caregivers with a single sign-on, central access point to clinical and benefits information. eBenefits is the result of the Commission's recommendation.
The National Resource Directory (NRD) became part of eBenefits in 2014. The NRD is a partnership among DoD, VA, and the Department of Labor. Information found in the NRD comes from federal, state, and local govenment agencies; Veteran and military service organizations; non-profit and community-based organizations; academic institutions; and professional associations that provide assistance to Wounded Warriors and their families.

I used it on my last claim. I had problems with it letting me write my statements, so I had to write and submit them as an added document. Don't know if it's because I use the FMP (OCONUS) or what. Will be interested in seeing how it speeds things up.
I do know the VA has some big problems in getting the correct information out. I was headed CONUS for a visit. The VA paper I got if I needed an exam and was headed state side, to contact them and they'd arrange for the exam over there. Well, I spent 3 weeks trying to get someone to do something. Finally after I was about to leave, I got the real poop - disregard the numbers they give you. Contact the VA facility where you're headed. You got to make sure you're signed in with them. Then you got to contact the FMP and get them to release your medical records to the regional office of the VA facility you are to visit. I found all this out after I spent 3 weeks trying the "contact" numbers the VA gives - what a joke.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL - Thanks for sharing! I have used this website as well. It is wealth of information. When it works, it is an awesome resource. Now if we could get the Tri-Care Overseas website working properly, I would be good to go!

SSgt Mark Lines roger that, "the old saying, if ain't one dog-gone thing, it's another". Stay with it and see it through. The internet is the way forward in my opinion.
