Education compensation

[Combat eng]

My daughter just turned 18 and want graduate from high school until May of 2022 I filed the paperwork for an increase. What I want to know is once she starts college, I'll have to change her status again correct? I heard that she will receive some type of payment from the VA. If this is true is there anyway I can control what ever she receive or will it go straight to her. I would like to be able to monitor her for at least a year. I am 100% P&T

If you are talking about DEA, she has to apply for it and it goes to her, not you. It’s not your benefit to claim. You can leave her on yours but then she can’t use DEA. it’s double dipping if she does and you don’t remove her from your  va award, and va auditing WILL eventually find it and take it back from you. You can still claim her on your taxes, though.
