The Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2003 has been approved by the House, priming more than 2.3 million service-disabled veterans for an increase in their monthly disability payments. The measure would increase benefit checks by the same amount as the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment, which is expected to be about 2 percent this year. The increase also would apply to widows and other qualified survivors of disabled veterans who receive Dependency and Indemnity Compensation. |
