Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for an apportionment of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits on behalf of DAJ, as he is no longer considered a child for VA benefits purposes.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support that DAJ meets the criteria to be recognized as the Veteran's dependent 'child' for VA purposes after turning 18 in January 2022.
