The Board denied the Veteran's request for an apportionment of more than $250.00 per month on behalf of their child, C.B., due to the appellant failing to establish hardship beyond this amount and because a higher amount would cause undue hardship to the Veteran given his court-ordered child support obligation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish hardship for C.B. in excess of $250.00 per month awarded by the AOJ, and a higher apportionment would result in undue hardship to the Veteran due to his court-ordered child support obligations.
