Veterans rated at 30% or higher receive additional monthly compensation for dependents. At higher ratings, family benefits expand to include education, healthcare, and survivor protection. This guide covers everything your family is entitled to based on your VA disability rating.
Starting at 30%, veterans receive additional monthly compensation for each dependent. At 100%, a spouse adds $219.59 per month, each child adds roughly $109 to $147, and a dependent parent adds additional compensation. These additions are also tax-free.
At 100% P&T, dependents qualify for Chapter 35 education benefits (up to 36 months) and CHAMPVA healthcare coverage. These programs provide significant financial value for families, often worth tens of thousands of dollars over time.
