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, $ 1,401, and add the rate for one school child, $155. The
total amount payable is $1,556.


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 $88, additional for A/A spouse, to the rate for a 70% veteran
with dependency code 12, $1,352. The total amount payable is $ 1,440.
