in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a deceased veteran has no surviving spouse entitled to dependency and indemnity compensation, the veteran’s children receive equal shares at specified monthly rates. The section also sets the retroactive amount when an older child’s entitlement is later restored for education.

(a) If a deceased veteran has no surviving spouse entitled to dependency and indemnity compensation, the compensation must be paid in equal shares to the veteran’s children at these monthly rates: (1) one child: $488; (2) two children: $701; (3) three children: $915; and (4) more than three children: $915 plus $174 for each child beyond three.
(b) If compensation was awarded under this section to one or more of a veteran’s children, and an additional child over 18 previously entitled before turning 18 later has that entitlement restored retroactively because the child is pursuing a course at an approved educational institution, the amount retroactively payable to that additional child equals the increased total award payable to all the deceased veteran’s children for that period minus the prior total award for that period.

(a)

Whenever there is no surviving spouse of a deceased veteran entitled to dependency and indemnity compensation, dependency and indemnity compensation shall be paid in equal shares to the children of the deceased veteran at the following monthly rates:

(1)

one child, $488;

(2)

two children, $701;

(3)

three children, $915; and

(4)

more than three children, $915, plus $174 for each child in excess of three.

(b)

If dependency and indemnity compensation has been awarded under this section to a veteran’s child or children and the entitlement to dependency and indemnity compensation under this section of an additional child of that veteran who is over the age of eighteen years and who had previously been entitled to depend­ency and indemnity compensation under this section before becoming eighteen years of age is later reestablished effective retroactively upon determination that such child is pursuing a course of instruction at an approved educational institution, the amount payable retroactively to the additional child is the amount equal to the difference between the total of the increased award payable under this section to the children of the deceased veteran for the retroactive period and the prior total award for such purpose for that period.
