The Veteran's former spouse, the appellant mother, was granted an apportionment of 20 percent of the Veteran's VA disability compensation benefits on behalf of their child, T.D., while she was still a minor and attending school.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on evidence showing that the Veteran had not been reasonably discharging his responsibility for supporting T.D. and accounting records confirming no apportionment payments were being received by the appellant mother.
