The Board has determined that terminating the appellant's apportioned share of the Veteran’s nonservice-connected pension benefits, effective August 1, 2018, was proper and denied the appeal.
The deciding factor: The decision to terminate the appellant's award of an apportioned share of the Veteran’s nonservice-connected pension benefits caused undue hardship to the Veteran due to reduced income for both parties and created a need for special monthly pension benefits intended solely for the Veteran's needs.
