Granted
The appellant is eligible for the direct payment of attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded from a March 2023 rating decision that increased the disability rating assigned for the Veteran's PTSD.
The deciding factor: The fee agreement and representation were valid, and the March 2023 rating decision was not the initial decision with respect to the case but occurred during an active appeal seeking an increased rating claim for PTSD.
