Higgins Applauds Approval of Cost of Living Adjustment for Disabled Veterans. Today Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-27) joined his colleagues in the House of Representatives in approving H.R.1407/S.894, the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2011. âThis modest increase is the least we can do for our veterans who make supreme sacrifices to protect our freedom and serve our country,â said Higgins. The bill increases the amounts paid to veterans for disability compensation and to their survivors for dependency and indemnity compensation by 3.6%, the same cost-of-living adjustment payable to Social Security recipients.
