Cost of Living adjustments for Vets in 2025

In order to keep up with inflation starting in 2025 veterans will receive a 2.5% Cost- of- Living Adjustment (COLA) increase on their disability benefits.  This means their monthly payments will be 2.5% higher compared to 2024. This will offset inflation and maintain purchasing power of their benefits. This increase will align with the Social Security Administration's annual COLA adjustment.  

Here are some key points to take away with the 2025 Veteran COLA:

- Increase percentage: 2.5%

- Reason for increase: Keep up with inflation

- Date in effect: December 1, 2024
