The Veterans’ Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2012 will provide a much needed 1.3 percent cost of living adjustment to veterans receiving disability compensation (to include dependency and indemnity compensation). The bill has been held up in the Senate since September, though the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs had previously cleared it. Hopefully, the bill will pass the Senate upon their return on November 13, 2012 and can be signed into law shortly thereafter.
