2026 VA Disability Update: Every NEW Law Signed for Veterans (No Clickbait)

Описание: Stop the panic! There is a lot of misinformation circulating on social media about VA disability benefits being "frozen" or "cut" in 2026. In this video, we dive into the actual federal records to show you exactly what has been signed into law by the President and what is still just speculative "clickbait."

What is ACTUALLY Law for 2026:
• The 2.8% COLA Increase: Public Law 119-42 (The Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2025) was signed on November 25, 2025. This ensures your benefits automatically keep pace with inflation starting December 1, 2025.
• The FAST VETS Act: Public Law 119-72 (signed Jan 20, 2026) established new protections for the Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program, requiring the VA to redevelop vocational plans if a veteran's condition changes.
• One Big Beautiful Bill (H.R. 1): Signed on July 4, 2025, this law increased budgetary oversight and changed Medicaid eligibility for some, but it did NOT cut service-connected disability compensation.
• New PACT Act Presumptive: The VA has officially added bladder and ureter cancers, as well as several leukemias, to the presumptive service connection list as of early 2025.

Debunking the Rumors:
• Tinnitus & Sleep Apnea: Rumors that these ratings are "gone" are false. While the VA has proposed changes to the Rating Schedule (VASRD), no final rule has been signed into law as of early 2026.
• Age 67 Cuts & Means Testing: These ideas are currently only "budget options" from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and have NOT been enacted into law.
• Benefit Freezes: There is no "freeze" on benefits; yearly adjustments remain automatic by law.

Stay Informed: Always rely on official sources like VA.gov or verified Public Laws to protect your benefits. Don't let speculative "WARNO" videos cause unnecessary stress.
