VA Disability Compensation Rates
Once the VA grants VA disability benefits, the VA assigns a “rating” based on the severity of a condition. The ratings span from 0% to 100% in 10% increments. That rating corresponds to a monthly payment amount that changes every year based on cost-of-living adjustments. If a veteran has multiple ratings for multiple conditions, the VA will combine the ratings to determine a total combined rating. This total compensation amount is meant to offset lost wages due to the service-connected condition(s).
The following compensation rates are effective December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2025. VA disability compensation rates can also be found on the VA’s website.
Compensation Rates For 10% To 20% Ratings
The 10% and 20% ratings do not contemplate the veteran’s dependents, including parents, a spouse, and/or children. Veterans are not eligible for the increased amount for dependencies until the total combined rating is at least 30%.
| Disability rating | Monthly payment |

| 10% | $175.51 |
| 20% | $346.95 |
