The Board denied the appellant's claim for an apportionment of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits due to the Veteran reasonably discharging his responsibility for the appellant's support and her not demonstrating financial hardship.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran providing sufficient financial support to the appellant, thereby meeting the threshold requirement for a general apportionment, and the appellant failing to demonstrate financial need.
