The Veteran's former spouse, the Appellant, has been granted a $150.00 per month apportionment of the Veteran’s VA disability compensation benefits on behalf of their two children, N.E. and J.E.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that the Veteran was not reasonably discharging his duty to support the children and had significant child support arrearages, while also having other sources of income beyond his VA disability compensation.
