The Board determined that the reduction in apportionment of the veteran's VA disability compensation benefits from $300 to $200 was proper due to the appellant no longer being entitled by law to an apportionment. The claim for increased apportionment on behalf of A. A., the minor son, was granted.
The deciding factor: The reduction in apportionment was found to be proper as the appellant was no longer entitled to receive benefits under VA's special apportionment regulations.
