Granted
The Board granted a general apportionment of 20 percent of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits to the appellant, on behalf of minor child, M.C.J., as the Veteran did not reasonably discharge his responsibility for support during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran was not contributing any support for the parties' child and had an outstanding child support arrearage, meeting the threshold requirements for a general apportionment.
