Title: ●Additional Compensation on Account of Children Adopted Out of Veterans Family 
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its adjudication regulations to clarify that a veteran will not receive the dependent rate of disability compensation for a child who is adopted out of the veteran's family. This action is necessary because applicable VA adjudication regulations are currently construed as permitting a Veteran, whose former child was adopted out of the veteran's family, to receive the dependent rate of disability compensation for the adopted out child, which constitutes an unwarranted award of benefits not supported by applicable legislative history and jurisprudence.
