To help, please speak up with or write your members of Congress, and push back when VSO’s or SCO’s repeat what VA wants us all to believe! Remember, if both veteran parents can receive VA compensation on behalf of the same child before age 18 and during college attendance as is the case, it is logical that a 30-90% service-connected veteran parent retains compensation on behalf of the student once he or she elects Chapter 35 under the other 100% VA service connected parent. The 100% service connected veteran parent is the only veteran currently required by law and regulation to relinquish compensation on behalf of the student to start Chapter 35. And if both 100% service connected veteran parents find themselves forced to give up compensation on behalf of the student it only makes sense that the student should also be receiving two FULL sets of Chapter 35 DEA benefits as the appellant in Osman v. Peake did after a six year battle meant to benefit all such situated child students in dual veteran families.
