the current VA compensation rates for veterans with a disablity
rating 10 percent or higher.
Dependents Allowance:
In addition veterans entitled to compensation whose disability is
rated as 30 percent or more, shall be entitled to additional compensation
for dependents as follows (monthly amounts):
FOOTNOTES: 1. Rates for each
school child are shown separately. They are not included with
any other compensation rates. All other entries on this chart
reflecting a rate for children show the rate payable for children
under 18 or helpless. To find the amount payable to a 70% disabled
veteran with a spouse and four children, one of whom is over
18 and attending school, take the 70% rate for a veteran with
a spouse and 3 children, $ 1,304, and add the rate for one school
child, $144. The total amount payable is $1,448.
Where
the veteran has a spouse who is determined to require A/A, add
the figure shown as "additional for A/A spouse" to the amount
shown for the proper dependency code. For example, veteran has
A/A spouse and 2 minor children and is 70% disabled. Add $80,
additional for A/A spouse, to the rate for a 70% veteran with
dependency code 12, $1,258. The total amount payable is $ 1,339.
