Partly granted
The Board granted the appellant's eligibility for direct payment of attorney fees from past due benefits awarded in February 2024 for dependency benefits for B.R. and M.R., but denied it for T.R. and T.J.R.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 grant was not an initial decision with respect to the claim for B.R. and M.R., while it was an initial decision on an original claim for T.R. and T.J.R., making the appellant ineligible for direct payment of fees in the latter case.
