The Board has granted a special apportionment to the Appellant on behalf of J.T., in the amount of the dependency allowance for one dependent child from the Veteran’s VA disability compensation benefits, prior to October [REDACTED], 2018. The decision was based on financial hardship demonstrated by the Appellant and her inability to provide a steady income during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Appellant had demonstrated financial hardship as she did not have a steady income during the appeal period, which justified granting the special apportionment of the Veteran's VA disability compensation benefits in the amount of dependency benefits received for one dependent child until October [REDACTED], 2018.
