Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Life & Work
Veterans receiving disability compensation would see their monthly payments increase in line with the Social Security COLA, helping them keep up with rising costs for food, housing, and other essentials. This is a standard annual adjustment rather than a new benefit, but it directly protects the purchasing power of roughly 5 million veterans who receive service-connected disability payments.
“the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall increase, in accordance with subsection (c), the dollar amounts in effect on November 30, 2025, for the payment of disability compensation and dependency and indemnity compensation”
