Granted
The appeal for the direct payment of attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in the October 2023 rating decision was granted.
The deciding factor: The appellant is eligible to the direct payment of attorney fees as the October 2023 rating decision was not the initial decision on the claim, and the April 2023 supplemental claim resulted in a grant of service connection for previously denied headaches.
