New monthly payment amounts for VA disability compensation benefits are announced every year. Outside influences like inflation rates factor into these new amounts, which affect more than 5 million veterans who receive disability checks from the VA.
VA disability ratings are determined by how disabling a veteran’s service-connected condition or combined conditions are.
Below you will find a table of the 2025 VA disability rates for a single veteran with no dependents or additional benefits (such as SMC).
| VA Rating | 2023 Monthly Compensation (Veteran with no dependents) |
|---|---|
| 10% | $175.51 |
| 20% | $346.95 |
| 30% | $537.42 |
| 40% | $774.16 |
| 50% | $1,102.04 |
| 60% | $1,395.93 |
| 70% | $1,759.19 |
| 80% | $2,044.89 |
| 90% | $2,297.96 |
| 100% (or TDIU) | $3,831.30 |
The monthly amount increases for spouses and dependent children and parents for veterans with conditions rated at 30% or more. Veterans with dependents can find their monthly compensation payment rates on the VA’s website.
Veterans may also receive special monthly compensation (SMC) or aid and attendance benefits in certain cases.
