The Board found that terminating the apportionment of the veteran's improved pension benefits on behalf of the appellant was proper due to the total benefit payable to the veteran not allowing a reasonable amount for the appellant.
The deciding factor: The total benefit payable to the veteran ($58) did not permit payment of a reasonable apportioned amount to the appellant, as per VA regulations.
