Granted
The claim contesting eligibility to attorney fees, based on past-due benefits awarded in a July 2024 rating decision, is granted.
The deciding factor: The fee agreement does not clearly specify VA to pay Attorney M.G. directly out of past-due benefits awarded to the Veteran, and there is no evidence that she provided any services on the issue of IBS.
