Disability Rate Increase
AF-Programmer replied to SaintX's question in Eligibility - Veterans Compensation Benefit Claims
I received that e-mail at work today with the PDF and did some quick math. 3 Million Veterans X ~$1,000 per month increase X 12 months is 36 TRILLION dollars they would have to raise the DVA budget by. Don't think this is going to happen. As many other posters have said I think this was just congresses way of tying the COLA for the VA to the COLA of SSA so they do not have to do a new bill each year unless they want to make a bigger change than the SSA increase.
