Denied
The Board denied the appellant's claim for attorney fees based on past-due benefits from an April 2024 decision that awarded service connection for left foot pes planus.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 rating decision was the initial decision with respect to the new May 5, 2023, claim for service connection for a left foot disability and did not arise from a prior denial of the same issue.
