Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for direct payment of attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in a March 2024 Rating Decision.
The deciding factor: The appellant was not representing the Veteran at the time the issue of a TDIU rating was raised, and the March 2024 Rating Decision is considered an initial decision on the claim for TDIU, which does not warrant direct payment of fees to the appellant.
