Denied
The fee appeal for attorney representation in past-due benefits from the October 2024 rating decision was denied.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 rating decision was not the initial decision with respect to a new claim for an increased disability rating for soft tissue sarcoma, and thus the attorney is not eligible to charge or receive attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded from this decision.
