How do I get educational benefits as a Spouse of disabled American veteran?

My husband, a disabled veteran, and I are both planning on attending college this year. He will get his benefits to pay for school but I've heard I also can receive benefits to go to school myself. Has anyone gone through this process before that can help me? What do I do first? How soon can I get the paperwork done and begin my schooling?How do I get educational benefits as a Spouse of disabled American veteran?
He needs to be 100% disabled I'm pretty sure.





I am 30% disabled Vet but my spouse will get nothing while I am still alive. Now when I am deceased I know my kids can apply for aid-but not sure on my spouse.





At 30% the VA offers Voc. Rehab and other benefits.





Like others said--check with the VA for the actual benefits and don't go by what we say-as this is just our experiences unless someone references a source.How do I get educational benefits as a Spouse of disabled American veteran?
I am the spouse of a 50% disabled vet. I have been researching this for a month. I'm sorry but we, as spouses, are not intitled to any educational benifits unless they are offered as scholarships or grants by a particular university.

If he is going through VOC Rehab with the VA,


when he graduates...they will expect him to get


a job and will stand a chance of losing his VA Comp.
