I was awarded IU P&T at the beginning of August 2009.
I have 2 children who are 23yrs and 25 yrs. [i have 3 others that are older, 30 plus]
Are the 23 and 25 eligible for the FULL allotment of Chapter 35 DEA monthly benefits because when I was awarded IU P&T they were still between the ages of 18 and 26?
I'm thinking THE CLOCK STARTS FOR THEM NOW because I have just been awarded the IU P&T.
I realize the basic regulation states education benefits for children between 18 and 26 yrs old but seems I have heard about this exception somewhere.
Otherwise the 25 yr old could only get about a year of benefits at most and the 23 yr old maybe about 3yrs.
Thank you.
