Frequently asked questions
What is the 2024 VA disability rate at 100% for a veteran alone?
$3,737.85 per month, from the official VA table effective December 1, 2023, as published on VA.gov. VA Pay IQ is independent and is not VA.
When did the 2024 rates take effect?
December 1, 2023. VA rate years are named for the calendar year that follows their December effective date, not for a January start — which is why this page always shows the effective date, not just the year.
Do dependents add anything at 10% or 20% in 2024?
No. At 10% and 20%, VA pays no additional compensation for a spouse, children, or dependent parents in any of these years. Dependent amounts apply at 30% and above.
How does 2024 compare with the previous year?
2024 is the earliest year on this site, so no earlier-year comparison is shown here. Older years can be added to the same versioned data model.
