Can a dependent who is eligible for Chapter 35 DEA benefits also receive Monthly Housing Allowance?

Question

 

Can my dependent daughter, who is eligible to receive Chapter 35 DEA benefits, qualify to receive a Monthly Housing Allowance as well? I'm a 100% DAV P&T veteran?

Probably not under the C35 DEA program but there are other programs to consider. I'd suggest that she explore the VA site here https://www.benefits.va.gov/GIBILL/DEA.asp and then speak with a knowledgeable financial counselor at a school she may attend.
