The Board denied the veteran's claim for an apportionment of his VA disability compensation benefits, finding that he is reasonably discharging his duty to support his child and that any apportionment would cause undue financial hardship.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was found to be reasonably discharging his responsibility for supporting his child through consistent monthly child support payments, which resulted in an inability to provide a special apportionment without causing undue hardship to the veteran.
