Granted
The Board granted the appellant's eligibility for direct payment of attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in a January 2024 dependency decision.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 award of dependency was part of the November 2023 rating decision that granted service connection for PTSD, and thus the fees are eligible under the direct payment provisions.
