How to read these tables

Step 1. Choose one base monthly rate for the veteran's family status. If there are no children, use the first table; if there is at least one child under 18, use the second table, whose rates already include the first child. Step 2. Add the applicable additional amounts from the third table: the published amount for each additional child under 18 beyond the first, the separate amount for each child over 18 in a qualifying school program, and the spouse Aid and Attendance amount where it applies. Example from VA: 70%, spouse, three children under 18, spouse receiving Aid and Attendance = $2,074.45 + 2 x $76.00 + $141.00 = $2,367.45. These are educational reference figures; selecting a family configuration does not establish that VA recognizes a dependent or guarantee payment.

Base monthly rates: no childrenPick the row that matches the veteran's dependents. Ratings of 10% and 20% pay one rate regardless of dependents.
