VA benefits set to increase. How much is not yet known. The last adjustment in January 2023 Veterans saw an 8.7% increase following a second year of high inflation.

A new law guarantees Veterans will receive a cost-of-living adjustment to VA compensation that is equal to the COLA applied to Social Security benefits.
