H.R. 1683 - Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2003

Summary

H.R. 1683 would:

             Provide effective December 1, 2003, a cost-of-living adjustment to the rates of disability compensation for veterans with service-connected disabilities and to the rates of dependency and indemnity compensation for survivors of certain service-connected disabled veterans.  The percentage amount would be equal to the increase for benefits provided under the Social Security Act, which is calculated based upon changes in the Consumer Price Index.
