The problem with the 405's is no one knows how many were added that week. If they got 200 new claims, they actually completed 352.

Re: Ch35 and service academy (reply)
I don't really know the answer but keep in mind that your compensation will be reduced for the amount you get for a dependent. If he goes backwards on the Chap 35 then you could owe a whopping amount to the VA. Chap 35 comes with a...
