Denied
The appeal for apportionment of the veteran's compensation benefits was denied due to the lack of financial hardship and the fact that the veteran has been providing child support.
The deciding factor: The appellant's income exceeds her expenses, and there is no evidence of financial hardship or that the veteran is not reasonably discharging his responsibility for child support.
