The Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) has determined that an apportionment of $200 per child from the veteran's compensation benefits is appropriate, given his financial situation and the amount he is legally obligated to pay in child support.
The deciding factor: The BVA concluded that despite the veteran's claims of financial difficulty, it would not be a hardship for him to contribute $200 per month per child for support in the form of a VA apportionment.
