The Board granted an apportionment of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits to the appellant, on behalf of the child L.H., effective June 2019, but denied it prior to that date.
The deciding factor: An apportionment was not warranted prior to June 2019 due to financial hardship to the Veteran, but since then an apportionment in the amount of 20 percent is warranted based on the Veteran's income and expenses.
