I think that you should be able to use Laravel's Auth::user() to get the user object once you've successfully authenticated through JWTAuth. I haven't tested this, but as an example:

public function login()
{
    $credentials = Input::only('email', 'password');

    if ( !$token = JWTAuth::attempt($credentials)) {
        return Response::json(['error' => 'Invalid Request'], 401);
    } 

    $user = \Auth::user();

    return Response::json(compact('token', 'user'));
}
