She doesn't get any of your disability. However, she may get Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) if she meets the eligibility* for it. Assuming she meets the eligibility, then there are various rates* depending on the situation.
The amount she would get is $1,562.47/month if no additional added criteria apply up to $2,463.10 if she meets the criteria for the "8-year provision, Aid and Attendance, and Housebound". Furthermore she'll receive an additional amount depending on how many children under the age of 18 you have.

About VA DIC for spouses, dependents, and parents | Veterans Affairs
If you’re the surviving spouse, child, or parent of a service member who died in the line of duty, or the survivor of a Veteran who died from a service-related injury or illness, you may be able to get a tax-free monetary benefit called VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (VA DIC).

It is not a percentage, but a fixed dollar amount. Look up DIC on the VA website for eligibility criteria and amounts.
