Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for an apportionment of the Veteran's VA disability compensation benefits as she is not eligible to receive such benefits since they are no longer married.
The deciding factor: The legal criteria do not allow a former spouse to receive an apportionment once divorced from the veteran, and there was no evidence presented that G.S. remained married to the Veteran during the claim period.
