Increase the value of the Disability Award.

What success looks like

Increased the maximum Disability Award to $360,000 and indexed it to inflation so ill or injured Veterans receive better financial support.

Government's narrative on progress

The Disability Award was increased to a maximum of $360,000 for ill and injured Veterans in recognition of pain and suffering. The award is commensurate with industry benchmarks and indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This provides support to Veterans and their families for an injury or illness resulting from military service. All Veterans who received a Disability Award since 2006 have already or will receive an additional lump-sum payment as a result of these changes.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
