Welcome back, warriors! At Warrior Allegiance, our mission is clear: to stand shoulder to shoulder with veterans, offering unwavering support through every step of their journey. Today, we’re delving into the intricacies of Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) and how it impacts your benefits. So, grab a seat, because we’re about to demystify the process and ensure you get the assistance you deserve.
Understanding COLA
Picture this: you’ve served your country with honor and integrity, and now it’s time to reap the rewards of your dedication. COLA is a mechanism designed to keep your benefits in line with the ever-changing cost of living. Sounds straightforward, right? Well, not always.
At Warrior Allegiance, we recognize that navigating the bureaucracy of COLA adjustments can be daunting. That’s why we’re here to break it down for you, step by step. Whether you’re eligible for compensation, pension, or Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC), we’ve got your back.
The COLA Adjustment Process
Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of adjusting your award to reflect a COLA. When the automated process falls short, it triggers a series of end products (EPs) that require manual intervention. But fear not, warriors, because Warrior Allegiance is here to guide you through it.
If you find yourself in the hands of a Veterans Service Center processing an EP 692, rest assured that we’ll ensure your claim label reads “COLA Adjustment.” Our team of dedicated veterans understands the intricacies of the process, guaranteeing that you receive the assistance you deserve.
Meanwhile, if a pension management center (PMC) is handling your EP 692 (for DIC beneficiaries), Warrior Allegiance steps in with the claim label “PMC COLA Adjustment.” We leave no stone unturned in our quest to secure your rightful benefits.
But what if you’re faced with an EP 696 or EP 600? Fear not, warriors, for Warrior Allegiance knows the drill. Whether it’s complying with policies or navigating due process notifications, we’ve got the expertise to ensure your COLA adjustment is seamless.
Empowering Veterans, Every Step of the Way
What sets Warrior Allegiance apart is our unwavering commitment to veterans. As an organization staffed by veterans who understand the process inside out, we speak your language. We’ve walked in your boots, faced the challenges, and emerged stronger.
From processing awards to notifying beneficiaries, we handle it all with the utmost care and diligence. Our goal isn’t just to secure your benefits; it’s to empower you to reclaim control of your life post-service.
Apportionments and Beyond
But wait, there’s more! Some apportionment decisions trigger increases tied to COLA adjustments. At Warrior Allegiance, we ensure that every penny you’re entitled to finds its way to you. Whether you’re an incarcerated veteran or a survivor, we’ve got your back.
And when it comes to notifying beneficiaries, we keep it simple yet informative. No bureaucratic jargon here—just clear, concise communication outlining the legislative COLA, rate changes, and effective dates.

As we navigate the intricacies of COLA adjustments together, remember that Warrior Allegiance is more than just an organization; we’re a family. Our commitment to your well-being doesn’t end with processing claims—it’s a lifelong pledge to stand by your side, come what may.
