Granted
The Veteran's VA disability compensation will be apportioned in the amount of $525 to support his dependent child, E.R., as he is not reasonably discharging his responsibilities to his dependent.
The deciding factor: The appellant's income was slightly greater than her expenses, and an apportionment of 20% of the Veteran's benefits would be insufficient. Therefore, a general apportionment of $525 was granted.
