The Board has granted an increase in the apportionment amount to 20 percent of the Veteran's VA disability benefits, which is considered a reasonable amount given the appellant's financial hardship and the Veteran's income.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the appellant experiencing financial hardship and her expenses exceeding her income, with the new apportionment amount being within the range of a reasonable apportionment amount as outlined in VA regulations.
