The Board has determined that the veteran's spouse was entitled to an apportionment of his VA compensation benefits in the amount of $570.00 per month due to her demonstrated hardship and the fact that this did not cause undue hardship on the veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the veteran's spouse had separated from him, and she was demonstrating financial hardship. The apportionment did not cause undue hardship for the veteran.
