Monthly payments of parents' DIC shall be computed in accordance with the following formulas:
The monthly rate of DIC paid to such parent shall be the rate specified in 38 U.S.C. 1315(c)(1) , as increased from time to time under 38 U.S.C. 5312 , reduced by an amount no greater than $.08 for each dollar of such parent's countable annual income in excess of $800, except that no payments of DIC may be made under this paragraph if such parent's countable annual income exceeds the amount specified in 38 U.S.C. 1315(c)(3) , as increased from time to time under 38 U.S.C. 5312 , and no payment of DIC to a parent under this paragraph may be less than $5 monthly. Each time there is a rate increase under 38 U.S.C. 5312 , the amount of the reduction under this paragraph shall be recomputed to provide, as nearly as possible, for an equitable distribution of the rate increase. The results of this computation method shall be published in schedular format in the "Notices" section of the FEDERAL REGISTER as provided in paragraph (f) of this section.
