Leah compares past increases, such as 3.2% in 2023 and 5.9% in 2021, and outlines how the adjustment will affect veterans, particularly those without dependents. For example, a veteran receiving 100% disability will see their payment rise from $3,737 to an estimated $3,833. Leah encourages viewers to factor in any dependents when calculating their new rates.
