VA disability rates increase in January
Veterans will see new VA disability pay rates, based on Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increases on the first business day of the new year.
The COLA year-over-year increase is 3.2%, the Social Security Administration announced on Oct. 12. It was finalized on Dec. 1.
VA has updated information on its website. The charts are designed to help recipients determine eligibility and anticipate the expected monthly payout for their approved VA disability claims, based on the COLA estimate.
Veterans are encouraged to review this information to assess their individual situations accurately.
