For the first time in history, VA will not claw back any sub-dollar amount in a compensation payment. The actual raise tied to the cost of living increase, as of January 1, 2014, will include the sub-dollar change that is due. Thus a 100% disabled Vet with a wife and no rug rats will see an actual monetary increase from the current $2924.00/mo. to $3,017.60/mo. That’s a whopping $7.20 more per year than you were expecting and I hope you all don’t intend to squander it all in one big blowout lollapalooza of frenzied Christmas spending, hear? $7.20 saved is $7.20 earned even if it’s only 2¢ a day.
