Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for direct payment of attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded, as no Notice of Disagreement was filed regarding the increased evaluations assigned for herpes and headaches.
The deciding factor: No Notice of Disagreement was filed, and the fee agreement only provided for a fee if claims were favorably decided after a Notice of Disagreement.
