A logon account is a way for you to interact with VA websites online. It gives you the ability to identify yourself to the VA via your User ID and password. It permits you to access a wide range of VA online services.

Your logon account consists of a User ID, a password and your customer profile which contains information about you that will permit VA applications to identify if you have the correct permissions to view the website you attempted to access.
