About This Video

John Berry of Berry Law addresses VA disability compensation pay rates concerning Veterans Affairs Rates of Disability Compensation

The total amount of benefits for disabled veterans is determined by the severity of their disability. The VA determines your disability eligibility based on information you submit as part of your claim or information obtained from your military records.

In 2022, how much will my VA disability check increase?

5.9 percentage points.

VA payments will rise 5.9 percent in 2022, the highest increase in over 40 years. The Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) increased 5.9 percent as a result of the pandemic's high inflation.
