What are the current VA disability compensation rates and how do they affect my payments?

The current Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation rates contain information on the factors that may affect your monthly payments, such as:

• You may be eligible for increased payments if you have a severe disability, loss of limb, or if you have dependents such as a spouse, child, or dependent parent, with a combined disability rating of 30% or greater.
• Your compensation amount may be affected if you receive military retirement pay, disability severance pay, or if you're incarcerated for more than 60 days for a felony conviction.
• VA provides cost-of-living adjustments to ensure your benefits keep up with inflation, matching the adjustments made to Social Security benefits.
• The rates for special monthly compensation, special benefit allowances, and birth defects compensation are also provided for eligible individuals.
