Starting in 1975, the Social Security Administration (SSA) began setting an annual COLA, tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI-W) and directly impacting VA disability payments. Each year, the SSA calculates COLA by analyzing CPI-W data from the third quarter, leading to adjustments that Congress then applies to VA disability benefits. Although 2025's 2.5% increase is modest, it's set to enhance monthly benefits, particularly for those with higher ratings or dependents.
