Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for apportionment of his disability compensation to benefit his son J.H.P., as individual need was not demonstrated.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence that the custodian of J.H.P. or J.H.P. experienced need, and the Veteran did not provide any expenses.
