Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for additional attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in a March 2023 rating decision, as the Veteran was already compensated the full amount of the benefits available to him when he was granted nonservice-connected pension.
The deciding factor: The calculated gross amount of past-due benefits from the March 2023 award for the period of July 2013 to November 2016 is $0.00, and there were no reductions or withheld amounts from which additional fees could be awarded.
