Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to an apportionment of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits for the appellant on behalf of minor child HSG due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the AOJ made no findings beyond the threshold eligibility question, and overlooked available information regarding the age of the child at the time of filing the apportionment claim.
