Granted
The Board granted eligibility for attorney's fees based on past-due benefits awarded in a November 2024 rating decision for an increased initial rating of 50 percent for the service-connected headache disability.
The deciding factor: Eligibility was granted because the claimant pursued continuous review of the initial rating and not a new claim for increase, which is eligible under the applicable regulations.
