Granted
The Board granted eligibility to attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in the February 2024 rating decision, which included service connection for a painful hysterectomy scar and other benefits.
The deciding factor: The fee agreement was valid, and the issues of entitlement to TDIU and SMC were part of the Veteran's request for an increased evaluation for her hysterectomy scar.
