Question:

Can two disabled veterans who are legally married to each other each receive the dependent allowance from VA for their children?

Answer:

Yes, both veterans can receive the “with dependents rate” once they have each been rated 30% or more disabled by VA. That means each veteran could claim not only his or her children but also his or her disabled veteran spouse as dependents.
