Denied
The Veteran's spouse/appellant seeks an increase in the amount of the apportionment of the Veteran’s VA benefits. The Board denied her request as granting a higher apportionment would cause undue financial hardship to the Veteran.
The deciding factor: Granting a higher apportionment would cause an undue financial hardship to the Veteran, as his expenses have exceeded his income during the relevant period of the appeal.
