Veterans — the 2026 VA Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) is coming soon.
It takes effect December 1, 2025, and the first higher VA disability payment arrives December 31.
If you receive VA disability, TDIU, or Special Monthly Compensation (SMC), you don’t need to file anything — the VA updates your rate automatically.
Please remember: every case is unique, and not all outcomes will be the same.
Submitting an Intent to File form may help Veterans protect an effective date for potential VA disability benefits and retroactive compensation.
You may receive an email from the VA saying you have limited time left to complete your disability application.
Our attorneys are ready to discuss your case and answer any questions you may have.
