The Board granted the appellant's eligibility for direct payment of attorney fees from past due benefits awarded in a March 2024 rating decision granting TDIU.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 Supplemental Claim was filed within one year of the initial ratings, representing continuous pursuit rather than a new claim. The TDIU granted was based on increased disability found between the initial effective date and the date of the rating action implementing the appellate decision granting the increase.
