Disability compensation increases if you have dependents.

I actually have a bigger problem with that than I do with them not recognizing her marriage... Are disabled vets w/deps MORE disabled than a disabled vet w/out deps? That just doesn't make much sense to me... I guess it is in-line with the AD policy regarding BAH but still...just "feels" wrong.
