Granted
The Board granted eligibility to the direct payment of fees for past-due benefits resulting from a November 2023 rating decision.
The deciding factor: Eligibility was granted based on the Veteran's continuous pursuit of an initial claim through a VA Form 21-8940, which led to an increased rating.
