Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for direct payment of attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in an October 2022 Rating Decision.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the October 2022 decision was issued following a request for higher-level review, notice of disagreement, or supplemental claim, and thus the appellant is not eligible for direct payment of fees based on past-due benefits awarded in this decision.
