To schedule a VA benefits appointment at the Houston VA Regional Office, call 713-383-3770; or the San Antonio Satellite VBA Office, call 210-396-9694.
The Houston VA Regional Office encourages Veterans and their family members to take advantage of in-person opportunities to speak with Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) counselors.
VA Regional Offices provide financial and other forms of assistance to Veterans and their dependents. This includes disability compensation, survivor’s benefits, pension and fiduciary service, education and training, aid and attendance, Veteran Readiness and Employment, life insurance coverage, and home loans guaranties.
While many questions and concerns can be answered by visiting the VA website or calling the National Call Center (1-800-827-1000), Veterans and their family members who would prefer to be seen in-person are encouraged to schedule an in-person appointment to discuss their VBA benefits.
For in-person visits, the VA Regional Offices are following all recommended COVID-19 guidelines, including masks, frequent surface cleaning, and plexi-glass shields.
To schedule an appointment at the Houston VA Regional Office at 6900 Almeda Road, Veterans and their family members should call 713-383-3770, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. For an appointment at the San Antonio Satellite VBA Office inside the Frank Tejeda VA Clinic at 5788 Eckhert Road, call 210-396-9694, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.

VA recently added three presumptive disability conditions related to toxic exposure: asthma, rhinitis, and sinusitis. Military service members may have been exposed to a variety of airborne hazards or contaminants resulting in one or more of these presumptive conditions and potentially other related medical conditions while on active duty in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Syria, and Uzbekistan during the Persian Gulf War from September 19, 2001 to present, or the Southwest Asia theater of operations from August 2, 1990 to present.
