Can I receive BAH and BAQ diff?

I think I know the answer but I'm just wondering... If I am married and receiving BAH with dependents, but I also have a child from a previous marriage which I pay child support to... am I entitled to BAH w/ dep rate due to being married and also BAQ diff based on child support payments?

Best way to get an answer to that is to talk to personnel, they should have an answer, or your company clerk.

No, in all my years I have seen it once or twice only for it to be later taken back. If approved locally be double sure you are receiving it IAW POLICY. Thank you for your service.

No, you'll just get BAH with Dependents

NO. You get 1 allowance- regardless of circumstances/choices.

No. The maximum allowance a SM can receive is the w/d BAH rate.
