The Board denied an increase in the amount of apportionment of the Veteran's VA benefits to the appellant and their minor child, J.G., as there was no evidence that the Veteran had failed to discharge his responsibility for support or that economic hardship existed.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the appellant's divorce from the Veteran precluded her eligibility for apportionment, and there was insufficient evidence of economic hardship for a special apportionment.
