VA Disability checks for eligible United States citizens arrive each month to beneficiaries’ bank accounts. In case you have one of these checks available, very soon you will be able to make use of the money on a regular basis, as the first of the 2025 payments is on its way to American households.
This time we are talking about the January 2025 VA Disability payment and the check will be mailed in the next few weeks. Remember that the amount of each of the checks depends on each citizen’s situation, so being eligible for this type of benefit is not the same as being eligible for another. Unlike Social Security retirement checks, which are mailed throughout the month, VA checks are mailed on the same day to beneficiaries.
When does the new VA Disability payment arrive?
This new payment will be sent on the 31st day of January 2025. So it will be the first of this year’s payments, so we will be able to enjoy this new benefit in case we have such a check.
After this payment on January 31st, for the rest of the year 2025 we will have the same amount. Remember that the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) directly increased all benefit and retirement payments.
Be that as it may, remember that on the 31st day of January you will have access to this payment and that the amount will be higher than the previous year 2024. In 2025, a citizen with 100% dependency can get around $3,830 maximum. Although it is true anyway that not all beneficiaries of this benefit can get this check.
Can I apply for a check to supplement VA Disability?
There is a Social Security benefit that is directly compatible with VA Disability. This benefit is Supplemental Security Income (SSI), so if you get a check you could apply for this extra payment.
In order to get a monthly SSI payment you need to be 65 or older or have a disability. In addition, you also need to have low monthly income in addition to low resources. The maximum payment for this benefit is $967 in 2025 and always arrives on the 1st of the month, with some exceptions.
