**§3.650 Rate for additional dependent.**

\(a\) *Running awards*. Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this
section where a claim is filed by an additional dependent who has
apparent entitlement which, if established, would require reduction of
pension, compensation or dependency and indemnity compensation being
paid to another dependent, payments to the person or persons on the
rolls will be reduced as follows:

\(1\) Where benefits would be payable from a date prior to the date of
filing claim, the reduction will be effective from the date of potential
entitlement of the additional dependent.

\(2\) Where benefits would be payable from the date of filing claim, the
reduction will be effective the date of receipt of the claim by the
additional dependent, or date of last payment, whichever is later.

If entitlement of the additional dependent is not established, benefits
previously being paid will be resumed, if otherwise in order, commencing
the day following the effective date of reduction.

\(b\) *New awards*. If the additional dependent is found to be entitled,
the full rate payable will be authorized effective the date of
entitlement.

\(c\) *Retroactive DIC award to a school child*:

\(1\) *General*. If DIC (dependency and indemnity compensation) is being
currently paid to a veteran's child or children under 38 U.S.C. 1313(a),
and DIC is retroactively awarded to an additional child of the veteran
based on school attendance, the full rate payable to the additional
child shall be awarded the first of the month following the month in
which the award to the additional child is approved. The rate payable
under the current award shall be reduced effective the date the full
rate is awarded to the additional child. The rate payable to the
additional child for periods prior to the date the full rate is awarded
shall be the difference between the rate payable for all the children
and the rate that was payable before the additional child established
entitlement.

\(2\) *Applicability*. The provisions of paragraph (c)(1) of this
section are applicable only when the following conditions are met:

\(i\) The additional child was receiving DIC under 38 U.S.C. 1313(a)
prior to attaining age 18; and

\(ii\) DIC for the additional child was discontinued on or after
attainment of age 18; and

\(iii\) After DIC has been discontinued the additional child
reestablishes entitlement to DIC under 38 U.S.C. 1313(a) based on
attendance at an approved school and the effective date of entitlement
is prior to the date the Department of Veterans Affairs receives the
additional child's claim to reestablish entitlement. (Authority: 38
U.S.C. 1313(b))

\(3\) *Effective date*. This paragraph is applicable to DIC paid after
September 30, 1981. If DIC is retroactively awarded for a period prior
to October 1, 1981, payment for the period prior to October 1, 1981
shall be made under paragraph (a) of this section and payment for the
period after September 30, 1981, shall be made under this paragraph.
