WASHINGTON, D.C. - Yesterday, by unanimous consent, the House passed S.1234, the Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2005.  S.1234 will provide, effective December 1, 2005, a cost-of-living adjustment to the rates of disability compensation  for veterans with service-connected disabilities and the rates of dependency and indemnity compensation paid to certain spouses and dependent children of service-disabled veterans.
