2012 Veteran Compensation Rates for Veteran Disability Benefits

When the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) makes a disability determination for a veteran they assign them a degree of disability ranging from 0%-100%. This percentile is important in determining your 2012 veteran compensation rates, which are shown when you check your VA compensation status.

When the Veteran Compensation Rates Change

On December 1, 2011, the VA increased the amount of compensation a disabled veteran receives when they are approved for veterans’ disability benefits. Those disabled veterans who have not yet applied for benefits through the VA are eligible for these same rates when they file a disability claim.

If you are a veteran already receiving disability benefits it is important that you check your VA compensation status periodically to make sure you are receiving all of the benefits you are entitled to. Any discrepancies should be brought to the attention of a Florida veteran’s disability representative who can help you appeal any decisions against your status to get the benefits you deserve.

Periodically the VA will reassess the veteran compensation rates to increase them as the cost of living goes up. It often occurs near the time when a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) takes place in the Social Security benefits programs, as it recently did.
