As any retiree knows, the greatest risk someone living on a pension faces is the risk of inflation and the erosion of purchasing power. After several years without an increase, the US Senate passed without amendment by unanimous consent the following:
S.894: Veteran's Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2011
Married Veteran and Spouse: $2,020
Single Veteran: $1,704
Spouse of a Living Veteran $1,338
Surviving Spouse of a Veteran $1,094
Based on VA historical increases, the A & A pension may be effective as soon as 12/1/2011. Congratulations to all of the seniors who depend on this benefit and who have worked to deserve it.
