The Board denied the appellant's request for an apportionment of the Veteran's disability compensation in excess of $200 per child, finding that the Veteran was reasonably discharging his responsibilities to his dependents.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was contributing a reasonable amount through wage garnishment and the $400 per month apportionment did not cause undue hardship to him or create additional hardship for the appellant.
