Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an apportionment of his VA disability compensation benefits on behalf of their son, G.L. due to the Veteran reasonably discharging his responsibility for support and no evidence of hardship.
The deciding factor: The Veteran provided sufficient financial support for G.L., making a general apportionment under 38 C.F.R. § 3.450 not warranted.
