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.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
