"A bill ordering a 2.3 percent cost-of-living adjustment in veterans’ benefits passed in Congress late Thursday and was sent to the White House for President Bush’s signature.

The increase, effective Dec. 1 and payable in January checks, would apply to about 3 million people, said Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee.

The 2.3 percent hike applies to disability compensation, dependency and indemnity compensation for surviving spouses and children, a clothing allowance for disabled veterans and a pension for low-income veterans."
