Granted
The Veteran's VA disability compensation was granted an apportionment in the amount of the additional dependency benefits for the minor child, F.G., as he is not reasonably discharging his responsibilities to his dependent and the appellant experiences hardship.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has been providing support through Social Security benefits rather than reducing his own benefits, but a special apportionment may be warranted due to financial hardship shown by the appellant. A minimal apportionment was granted to ensure it does not cause undue hardship to the Veteran.
