Denied
The Board denied the appellant's request for an apportionment of the Veteran's VA disability compensation for the benefit of their children, M.J. and S.J., as she was not sufficiently establishing financial hardship.
The deciding factor: The appellant did not establish that she experiences financial hardship necessary to warrant an apportionment due to her reported income exceeding expenses by over $1,800 per month.
