Remanded (sent back)
The appeal of the September 2024 Fee Decision finding that attorney J.P. was eligible to the direct payment of fees from past due benefits awarded in a September 2024 rating decision granting increased ratings for the Veteran's lumbar spine and headache disabilities is denied, with the issue of reasonableness of the amount of fees remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that attorney J.P. was eligible to the direct payment of fees but disagreed on the reasonableness of awarding him 20 percent in fees for work performed before April 2018, necessitating a remand for an OGC review.
