There are certain benefits they may be entitled to. For instance, if a veteran is receiving compensation or pension, and he has a spouse, and/or dependent children, under 18 years of age, or between 18 and 23, and attending school, the vet gets a dependency allowance, which is additional money added to his benefit. If the veteran is permanently rated 100% service-connected, the dependents may be entitled to educational benefits. That would entitle the dependent in actual monthly benefits.
