In VetPaycheck, O-8 uses the O-7 rate, O-9 uses the O-7 rate, O-10 uses the O-7 rate.

BAH is set by duty station ZIP code, paygrade and whether you have dependents. Members already receiving BAH in an area keep their rate if the new year's rate drops (rate protection), so a published rate can be lower than what a member actually receives.
