The Monthly Stipend: A Breakdown
In 2025, veterans hitting that coveted 100% VA disability rating can expect a monthly payment of $3,831.30 if they have no dependents. That’s right—no kids, no partner, no dependent parents, and voila! However, if you have a spouse, prepare for a sunny upgrade to $4,044.91. It’s like the tax refund you always dreamed of, but without the wait and paperwork.
Cost of Living Adjustments: A Silver Lining?
On top of that handsome figure, there’s a 2.5% cost of living adjustment (COLA) in effect from December 1, 2024. Think of it as a little cherry on top of an already splendid sundae. With inflation the way it is, a COLA is akin to sprinkling extra candy on your sundae to sweeten the deal. Your dollars will stretch a bit further, ensuring that even your monthly coffee habit can be sustained.
Dependent Benefits: More the Merrier
⏰ Ends Jan 27, 2026 (while supplies last)
If you’ve got a team behind you—a spouse, children, or dependent parents—your benefits grow with you. What’s not to love? It’s like getting a family discount, but much, much better. Each dependent adds to your monthly check, so don’t forget to account for the extra mouths to feed (hopefully not too many extra ones!).
So, in sum, as you look to 2025, whether with your finger on the calculator or just daydreaming about potential spending sprees with your VA benefits, remember to review these rates! They might just make your financial forecast shiningly bright.
