Can I use my BAH to qualify for a VA loan in Delaware?

Yes. VA underwriters can count BAH as stable, tax-free income. Because it's nontaxable, a lender may gross it up when calculating debt-to-income ratios; the applicable percentage depends on the agency/investor guideline and the borrower's actual documented tax situation. VA underwriting emphasizes residual income and actual income.
