The Board has granted an increased apportionment of the Veteran's VA disability compensation benefits to the appellant, on behalf of their minor child Y.L., from $150.00 per month to 30 percent (about $500.00) of the Veteran's total monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that an increase in the apportionment amount would not result in undue hardship for the appellant and her child, given her financial situation and the Veteran's limited income after accounting for his VA benefits.
