The Board granted A.W. a fee of five (5) percent of the past-due benefits awarded in the March 2022 rating decision, finding it to be reasonable.
The deciding factor: The fee was deemed reasonable based on the complexity of the case and the level of representation provided by A.W., but not enough to warrant a full 20% fee given his POA termination prior to the favorable decision.
