The veteran's VA disability compensation includes a dependency allowance for the appellant. The veteran is not reasonably discharging his responsibility for supporting the appellant, and an apportionment of the veteran's benefits in the amount paid to him as dependency allowance on behalf of the appellant is granted.
The deciding factor: The veteran receives a monthly dependency allowance for the appellant but has provided her limited funding since their divorce. The Board found that this does not constitute reasonable discharge of responsibility for support, and thus grants an apportionment equal to the amount paid to him as dependency allowance on behalf of the appellant.
