Veterans Receive Pay Increases

Week of January 14, 2008

Millions of veterans and eligible family members will see their disability compensation, pension, and survivors' benefits increased as the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides an annual cost-of-living increase for key benefits. A recent law signed by President Bush provides a 2.3 percent increase in disability compensation and survivors' benefits. Eligible veterans and family members will see this increase starting in their January 2008 checks. For more information about VA benefits and services, visit the VA website or call 1-800-827-1000.
