Dismissed
The January 2, 2025, Board decision granting eligibility to direct payment of attorney fees was vacated due to procedural insufficiencies.
The deciding factor: Due to the Veteran not being provided with a redacted copy of the appellant's VA Form 10182, which is a specialized contested claims procedural requirement, the Board found that the criteria for vacatur have been met.
