The Board has granted the apportionment of the veteran's disability compensation to his minor son, N.H., effective May 1, 2000. The overpayment issue was resolved and it is not considered improper.
The deciding factor: The errors in assigning the overpayment were due to administrative mistakes such as failure to use information provided by the veteran and incorrect assignment of benefits for another child.
