Granted
The Board granted an apportionment of 20 percent of the Veteran's monthly VA disability compensation benefits to the Appellant on behalf of their minor biological child, T.M., due to the Veteran's failure to reasonably discharge his duty of support and the Beneficiary's financial hardship.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has not reasonably discharged his responsibility for the support of the Beneficiary as required by a court-ordered child support obligation, and the Beneficiary is experiencing financial hardship.
