Benefits Intake API

Provides a third-party submission path for veteran-facing PDF benefits forms with supporting documentation directly into VA's Centralized Mail Portal (CMP). Supports the same 4142, 686C, 526EZ, and dozens of other VA benefit forms — replacing the former eBenefits paper-equivalent upload flow.

Benefits Intake API is one of 23 APIs that VA Lighthouse publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Government, Veterans Affairs, Benefits, Documents, and Uploads. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an OpenAPI specification, and a changelog.
