In 2025, eligible U.S. veterans are set to receive enhanced disability benefits—including monthly payments that can total $3,357 or more, with an additional $839 in certain cases. The increase is part of the VA’s continued effort to adjust payments based on the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) and changing economic conditions.

Here’s what veterans and their families need to know.

How Much Will Veterans Receive in 2025?

The base monthly benefit for a 100% disabled veteran without dependents is now $3,357. Veterans with dependents, such as spouses, children, or parents, could qualify for additional compensation, bringing the monthly total to over $4,196 in some cases.

Veterans who qualify for Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) due to severe disabilities or the need for assistance with daily living could receive an extra $839 or more each month.

These payments are tax-free and are deposited on the first business day of each month, unless that day falls on a holiday or weekend.

Who Is Eligible?

Veterans may qualify for these payments if they:

  • Have a service-connected disability rated by the VA

  • Were honourably discharged

  • Submit a valid claim through the Department of Veterans Affairs

  • Provide medical documentation supporting their disability rating

Increases to payments are tied to the 2025 COLA adjustment, which is set at 3.2%—ensuring that benefits keep pace with inflation.

Payment Schedule for 2025

VA payments typically follow this schedule:

  • May 1 (for April benefits)

  • June 3 (for May benefits)

  • July 1 (for June benefits)

  • August 1 (for July benefits)

Veterans should check the VA’s official portal or contact a Veteran Service Officer (VSO) for updates or help with applying.

What to Do Next?

  • Make sure your direct deposit information is up to date with the VA

  • Confirm your disability rating and ensure all dependents are listed in your file

  • Reach out to a VA-accredited representative for help if you’re unsure about eligibility
