VA 90% Disability Pay 2025: For a lot of veterans, the monthly money they get from VA isn’t just extra cash it’s something they really depend on. It helps them take care of themselves and their families while they heal and try to live better lives. If you’re one of the veterans who has a 90% disability rating and you live with your spouse, one child, and a parent who depends on you, you’re probably wondering how much money you can expect each month.

2026 VA Disability Rates: When Will the New Increase Be Announced?

Now there’s some good news. The VA shared the new monthly rates for 2025, and they’re a little higher than before because of something called a cost-of-living adjustment. That just means the VA increases your payments so they can match the rising prices of things like food, rent, and other daily needs. This adjustment started from December 1, 2024, and the VA works with Social Security to set these changes.

What’s the Real Payment for 2025?

Here’s how it adds up:

Base rate for 90% disability (veteran + spouse + child + 1 parent): $2,784.96
If your spouse needs Aid and Attendance (such as assistance with daily activities), you’d add $176.00
For each additional child under 18, tack on another $95.00
That means a veteran with a second child and a spouse needing Aid and Attendance would bring in $3,150.96/month.

VA Disability Pay August 2025: How much extra will veterans receive this month due to COLA raise?

All of this comes straight from the VA’s official numbers for 2025, and they update these every year. If your family setup is a little different maybe you have more kids, or maybe your spouse doesn’t need Aid and Attendance you can still find your exact amount by using the VA’s online calculator or talking to a VA representative who’s trained to help with these questions.

Groups like the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) and Military.com always tell veterans to stay on top of this stuff. Even small changes like having another baby or your parent no longer being a dependent can change how much you get every month.
