Granted
The Board granted the appellant's eligibility for direct payment of attorney fees from past due benefits awarded in a February 2024 rating decision granting TDIU.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 Supplemental Claim was seeking the same benefit - a total disability rating, on the same basis as the January 2020 denial, and thus the appellant is eligible for fees under the AMA.
