VA Disability Payment Schedule: The VA disability payment schedule for 2024 delineates the specific dates on which veterans and their families will receive their monthly compensation payments.
The determination of the severity of service-connected conditions that constitute disability ratings has an impact on the compensation rate.
Using VA mathematics, the combined disability rating is computed by adding the ratings for individual conditions. Veteran dependents who have accumulated a minimum of 30 percent in their overall rating may be eligible for supplementary compensation.
Monthly remuneration amounts for eligible dependents are detailed in the 2024 VA Disability Pay Chart. In 2024, the VA disability compensation rates will be impacted by the Social Security Administration’s cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), which is 3.2%.

Changes to be introduced in January
The projected VA disability payments for 2024 estimate monthly compensation spanning from $564.49 to $1,442.67 for veterans with children and disability ratings between 30 and 60 percent.
Without dependents, veterans with ratings between 70% and 100% disability may qualify for a substantial increase; for instance, a 100% disabled veteran could receive $3,730.61 per month.
The benefits will become effective immediately upon the commencement of the new fiscal year in 2024. As a result, beneficiaries of VA benefits can anticipate the initiation of the benefits filtration process in January 2024.
Veterans with disabilities can expect an increase in disposable income to combat the economic uncertainty and escalating costs resulting from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine conflict.
