Granted
The Board granted eligibility for the direct payment of attorney fees to the appellant from past due benefits awarded in a May 2023 rating decision granting entitlement to a TDIU.
The deciding factor: The June 2022 Supplemental Claim was filed within one year of the HLR decision continuing the denial of a new VA 21-526EZ increased rating claim, representing continuous pursuit of a higher psychiatric rating rather than a new claim. The May 2023 TDIU grant was based on this continuous pursuit.
