| FOOTNOTES: |
- 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, $ 1,513, and add the rate for one school child,
$168. The total amount payable is $1,681.
- 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 $95, additional for A/A spouse,
to the rate for a 70% veteran with dependency code 12, $1,461. The
total amount payable is $ 1,556.
