Title: Veterans Compensation Apportionment Amounts 
Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its adjudication regulations regarding apportionments. The amendments are the result of a policy directive by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and will authorize apportionments to the spouse and/or children at the statutory amount payable to the eligible dependents without making hardship or income determinations. The proposed revision would provide consistency in the adjudication of apportionment claims and improve the effectiveness of the adjudication process.
