All wounded troops covered by the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme, introduced in April 2005, are expected to benefit.
The move comes after a storm last year over an MoD court challenge to increased payouts for two injured servicemen who later developed medical complications.
Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth brought forward a review of the controversial compensation scheme.
A defence source said: "There are a number of positive things to come out of the review to make it better for everybody who has been injured."
Former Chief of the Defence Staff Admiral Lord Boyce, who carried out the review, will announce the details with Veterans Minister Kevan Jones.
The MoD went to the Court of Appeal last July to challenge increased payments to Cpl Anthony Duncan of the Light Dragoons and Royal Marine Matthew McWilliams.
Cpl Duncan, shot in Iraq in 2005, was originally awarded £9,250. That was increased to £46,000 by a tribunal.
A £8,250 award made to Marine McWilliams, who broke his thigh while training, was boosted to £28,750 on appeal.
Campaigners claimed "a tremendous win" when the court sent the cases back to a compensation tribunal to be reconsidered.
An MoD spokesman said it welcomed the review results.
