The Board denied the Veteran's appeal to terminate the apportionment of his VA disability compensation benefits in favor of J.M., finding that the apportionment was proper given J.M.'s financial hardship.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a review of financial information showing J.M. had demonstrated sufficient financial need, while also considering the Veteran's income and expenses which did not indicate he could provide additional support to J.M.
