Denied

The Board denied the appeal for apportionment of the Veteran's VA disability compensation on behalf of child L.C., finding that the Veteran was reasonably discharging his responsibilities to his dependent and there was no undue hardship shown by the appellant.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran was contributing a reasonable amount towards child support, and the appellant had not demonstrated sufficient hardship to warrant an apportionment.
