The veteran's compensation benefits are apportioned to his former spouse, who is in custody of their minor child. The amount of $160 per month is granted as an appropriate apportionment.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the hardship faced by the appellee (veteran's former spouse) and her situation constituted a 'hardship' as contemplated by VA regulations, allowing for the apportionment without causing undue hardship to the veteran or other persons in interest.
