What is the 2023 VA Disability Increase?
The rate of VA disability in 2023 is expected to rise by 8.7%.
Beginning in January 2023, disabled veterans with a 10% VA disability rating or greater will get a monthly VA compensation payment of 8.7% COLA higher.
More than 75 million Americans receive Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, VA disability and pension benefits, military retirement pay, and other government benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) recently announced on October 13, 2022, its official Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) announcement.
How Are 2023 VA Disability Rates Determined?
The rates were created by Congress to reflect the anticipated income loss due to a veteran’s disability.
A 30% rating (they should still be able to work) for a single veteran without dependents means that a lower rate of pay should cover the economic loss of the disability, while a 100% rating (unlikely that they can work) receives the highest pay rate permitted by law. Rating percentages are based on the severity of the condition.
