The Board granted an apportionment of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits to his estranged spouse and minor child for the period from March 2022 to May 2022, in the amount of the dependency allowance received.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was not reasonably discharging his responsibility for the support of his spouse and minor child during the appeal period, as he was receiving additional monthly compensation in the form of dependency allowance for claiming them as dependents.
