This June, DAV recognizes the service and sacrifice of LGBTQ+ veterans. Many served during eras shaped by policies like Don't Ask, Don't Tell, often carrying both the challenges of military service and the added weight of hiding who they were. Even today, some face higher risks of isolation, barriers to care and difficulty accessing earned benefits.

At DAV, our mission is simple: ensure every veteran—regardless of background—can access the care, benefits and support they’ve earned through service.

Supporting veterans means recognizing the full reality of their experiences and making sure no one is left out of the benefits they’ve earned.

A new bill could offer surviving family members of troops and veterans a slight increase in monthly compensation, along with a more sizable annual increase in benefits for the most severely disabled veterans.

The House of Representatives recently passed the Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act, which calls for a 1.5% increase in Dependency and Indemnity Compensation over the next two years. Experts told Task & Purpose that the increase would be modest — coming in at less than $100 a month.

If the Senate also passes the bill, it would also provide an $833.33 per month in Special Monthly Compensation, or SMC, for veterans with severe service-connected disabilities, such as blindness or the loss of one or more limbs, for a total of $10,000 more per year.

Several veteran groups support the bill, which is named for Sharri Briley, whose husband, Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 Donovan Briley, was killed in 1993 during the Battle of Mogadishu. It is also named for Eric Edmundson, an Army veteran who was severely wounded by an improvised explosive device while deployed to Iraq in 2005.
