The Board denied the appeal for apportionment of $407 per month to S.S. on behalf of K.A., finding that the Veteran was not reasonably discharging his responsibilities and that the apportionment would not cause undue hardship.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's reported financial situation did not meet the criteria for apportionment, as he had not been reasonably supporting his dependent and the amount proposed would not result in undue hardship.
