2025 Pay Raises for Disabled Vets and Military Retirees

This discussion dives into the 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2025 affecting veterans' benefits. This increase, tied to the Social Security Administration's COLA, impacts disability compensation, clothing allowances, and survivor benefits. The Department of Labor calculates the COLA using the Consumer Price Index. Articles were used detailing the specific monthly increases for different disability ratings and highlight the impact on veterans' finances. Organizations such as the American Legion and Disabled American Veterans (DAV) provide information and support for veterans accessing these benefits.
