The Board has granted an apportionment of 20 percent of the Veteran's VA benefit award for the support of EF, effective from June 1, 2001, until EF's 18th birthday, or until her 23rd birthday if she was enrolled in school.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the appellant demonstrated a need for support and that an apportionment of 20 percent of the total VA benefit award did not result in undue hardship to the Veteran or his current dependents.
