VA/DoD eBenefits is the result of a collaboration between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) serving veterans, service members, Wounded Warriors, their family members, and their authorized caregivers. VA/DoD eBenefits provides a secure environment to safely access personal information and perform self-service tasks.

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. VA/DoD eBenefits is the result of the Commission's recommendation.
