Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for direct payment of attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in the November 2022 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The appeal was denied because TDIU, which led to past-due benefits, was a new claim and not part of any pending increased rating claim at the time it was submitted.
