Granted
The Board granted eligibility to attorney fees based on the past-due benefits awarded in the December 2023 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The fee agreement between the Veteran and the Appellant was valid, and the issues of entitlement to increased evaluations for MDD and a left foot calcaneal spur were part and parcel of the Veteran's request for increased initial evaluations for his service-connected disabilities.
