New law could increase compensation for Gold Star families if it makes it through Senate
A new bill has been passed by the House of Representatives that could increase compensation for Gold Star families. The bill proposes a slight increase in monthly compensation for surviving family members of troops and veterans. It also includes a more significant annual increase in benefits for severely disabled veterans.
The proposed increase in Dependency and Indemnity Compensation is modest, amounting to less than $100 a month. Severely disabled veterans could receive additional monthly compensation. Further details about the bill, including its potential impact and next steps, are available from the source.
