Denied
The Board denied an increase in the special apportionment of the Veteran's VA benefits on behalf of the appellant and their minor child, K.C., as the evidence did not show that an increase would create undue hardship for the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The current amount of apportionment does not create a hardship for the appellant or K.C., and an increase could create an economic hardship for the Veteran.
