According to the BLS website:

Scroll down (for the CPI-W):

Quote

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) 
increased 1.5 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 254.004 
(1982-84=100). For the month, the index rose 0.2 percent prior to seasonal 
adjustment.  

While I am quoting from the BLS website, regard this as an estimate only, the official one will follow.  Therefore, my estimate is between 1.4% and 1.6%, with 1.5 percent the most likely Cola. 

For a SINGLE 100 percent Veteran, no dependents, this amounts to a raise of $46.59 per month increase to $3152.63 .  

Social Security recipients will also be the same:  1.5%, but, as was pointed out, our medicare premiums will go up, so we will see “less” increase in our social security checks, probably.
