Veterans and their families would see benefit payments increase starting December 2025.
This bill would increase monthly payments for veterans with service-connected disabilities and for the surviving families of certain disabled veterans. These payments would go up starting December 1, 2025, by the same percentage as the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment.
Currently, specific dollar amounts for veterans' disability compensation and survivor benefits are set and do not automatically adjust for inflation. This bill would ensure these amounts are increased starting December 1, 2025, matching the percentage increase given to Social Security benefits for that year.
