## Summary

**Raises VA disability and survivor payments** by applying the same percentage increase as Social Security's cost-of-living adjustment for benefits payable December 1, 2025. The law updates multiple VA compensation and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation amounts that were in effect on November 30, 2025. - Wartime veterans: Higher monthly disability compensation and related dependent payments. The law adjusts the base rates for wartime disability pay and additional compensation for dependents using the Social Security increase effective Dec 1, 2025. - Survivors and children: Dependency and Indemnity Compensation for surviving spouses and eligible children rise by the same percentage as the Social Security cost-of-living increase. - Clothing allowance: The annual clothing allowance paid to eligible veterans is raised to match the Social Security-based increase. - Implementation and administration: The VA Secretary may administratively adjust rates for veterans covered by Public Law 85-857, section 10 who have not received compensation under chapter 11. The VA must publish the adjusted amounts in the Federal Register by the same SSA publication trigger for fiscal year 2026.
