Granted
The Veteran's former representative, C.B., is granted eligibility for the payment of fees based on past-due benefits arising from a March 2024 rating decision that awarded service connection for a psychiatric disability.
The deciding factor: C.B. represented the Veteran during the period addressed by the March 2024 rating decision and was validly appointed, but did not represent the Veteran at any point during the pendency of the successful claim for service connection, thus granting eligibility for fees based on past-due benefits.
