The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has released its official VA Benefit Payment Schedule for September 2025, with disability compensation amounts ranging from $175 to $4174 per month.
These tax-free monthly benefits are designed to support military veterans who suffer from service-connected disabilities, illnesses, or injuries.
While the official September payment is set for October 1, 2025, due to the calendar cycle, the September payout will actually be deposited early on August 29, 2025 because of the Labor Day holiday.
What Are VA Disability Benefits?
VA Disability Benefits provide monthly financial assistance to eligible veterans. The payment amount depends on:
- Disability Rating: Assigned between 10% and 100% by the VA based on medical evaluations.
- Dependent Status: Veterans with spouses, children, or dependent parents receive additional allowances.
- Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA): Payments are adjusted yearly to match inflation.
These payments are non-taxable and are meant to cover essential expenses such as healthcare, housing, and daily living costs.
