Dismissed
The appeal contesting the eligibility for attorney fees based on past due benefits was dismissed as the notice of disagreement (NOD) was not timely filed.
The deciding factor: The NOD was received more than 60 days after the issuance of the fee decision, which is a procedural defect that does not affect the Board's jurisdiction but can be grounds for dismissing an appeal.
