The Board denied the Veteran's claim for attorney fees, but remanded the issue of the reasonableness of the amount of attorney fees due to Attorney V.G.B. based on past-due benefits awarded in an October 2023 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The fee provisions for decisions issued on or after the effective date for the AMA are applicable, and Attorney V.G.B. is eligible for fees based on the past-due benefits awarded in the October 2023 rating decision. However, the Board does not have jurisdiction to consider the merits of this portion of the appeal as to reasonableness.
