Granted
The Board granted eligibility for the direct payment of attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded to the Veteran pursuant to a November 2023 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Appellant's fee agreement and representation were valid, and the May 2023 Supplemental Claim led to service connection and past-due benefits for the Veteran's bilateral foot disability.
