Granted
The Board granted an apportionment of 20 percent of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits to the appellant, on behalf of the minor children, A.M. and T.M., as the Veteran is not reasonably discharging his responsibility for their support.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has not provided consistent child support payments during the appeal period, and an apportionment in this amount does not result in undue hardship to him.
