Dismissed
The Board denied eligibility for direct payment of attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in the March 2024 rating decision and dismissed the appeal regarding additional attorney fees based on retroactive CRDP compensation.
The deciding factor: The appellant's arguments were not persuasive, as MVA was limited to claims for service connection, and the November 2023 claim did not qualify as a request for review under the applicable regulations.
