Denied
The Board denied the claim for apportionment of the Veteran's VA disability compensation benefits on behalf of J.A.M., Jr., as he was over 23 years old and not a helpless child.
The deciding factor: The Appellant did not submit a claim within one year after the interruption in payment, thus an apportionment cannot be granted for the period from March 2019 to June 2019.
