Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for direct payment of attorney fees based on past due benefits awarded in an April 2024 rating decision, as no past due benefits were actually awarded to the Veteran.
The deciding factor: No past due benefits were awarded to the Veteran, so there was no amount from which to derive the appellant's attorney fee.
