The Board found that the VA's decision to grant an increased apportionment of $300 per month for E.A., the veteran's spouse, was proper. The decision considered the veteran's financial situation and the need to support his child.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the veteran needed the additional funds to support his child and other expenses, and there was no undue hardship caused by the apportionment.
