The Board denied the appellant's appeal to reinstate an apportionment of $250 per month on behalf of their child, GED, effective March 1, 2020, finding that the Veteran was reasonably discharging his responsibility for support and there was no evidence of hardship.
The deciding factor: The Board found insufficient evidence to establish that the appellant experienced financial hardship or undue hardship with the child support in place, leading to the termination of the apportionment.
