Granted
The Veteran's VA disability compensation was granted an apportionment of 20 percent on behalf of his dependent child, M.A., from the date of claim to when M.A. turned 18.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was not reasonably discharging his responsibilities to his dependent child during the pendency of the claim and appeal, while M.A. was a minor, thus warranting a general apportionment.
