Dependent daughter eligible for 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?

Jim's Reply:

The rules governing our GI Bill today are complex and driven by the veterans era of service and more. As a rule dependents with C35 DEA are awarded a standard monthly stipend that doesn't include a housing allowance. But you never know with VA and her best bet is to sit with the school's financial counselors who are usually up to date on any GI Bill or C35 award benefits.
