A buddy of mine is married to a vet and we checked into this. Go to "http://www.ebenefits.va.gov", then "Apply for Benefits" under the "General" column. Log in at the https://www.ebenefits.va.gov/ebenefits/about/feature?feature=dependent-compensation link. Then "Manage Dependents (VONAPP Direct Connect)". If you've gotten that far you've got it licked.

Plenty of that in My Day. I see nothing wrong with it at a certain level. Who better to Understand a Navy Spook than another Navy Spook.

This is a case for belt and suspenders. Go to ebenefits as described in @TSgt David LaPointe's post. Then go to Comp and Pen to make sure. Just went through a divorce and remarriage fiasco with VA - you can't tell enough people there to make sure someone hears the message.
