The projected VA disability increase for 2025 is a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) that will be applied to all veterans receiving disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The COLA is based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, which measures the change in the cost of goods and services purchased by households.
The VA disability increase for 2025 is expected to be around 2.8%, which is the same as the projected COLA for Social Security benefits. This increase will help to ensure that veterans receiving disability compensation keep pace with the rising cost of living. The VA disability increase for 2025 will be the largest in several years, and it is a welcome relief for veterans who have been struggling to make ends meet.
