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.
