<p>I am looking into what financial benefits are available for my children to attend college.</p>
<p>I am 100% disabled through the Veterans Affairs and from my understanding my children may qualify for the DEA (Dependent's Educational Assistance) program. It pays a monthly amount for up to 45 months (amount and how long depends on attendance status of full to 1/4 rate).</p>
<p>Wondering how this also affects the financial aid through FAFSA and how it works in general.</p>
<p>Also does anyone know how my disability compensation affects the income bracket for the FAFSA? The money I get from the VA is not taxable and I do not include it on my IRS filings. I don't even get a W2 or anything for it.</p>
<p>Thankyou for your help.</p>
