Granted
The Board has granted an apportionment of the Veteran's VA benefits that were not paid to him during his period of incarceration, finding that the appellant demonstrated individual need and that granting the apportionment is not prejudicial to the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the appellant demonstrated individual need due to her significant expenses exceeding her income during the relevant period on appeal.
