Denied
The Board denied the appellant's request for attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in October 2021 because the issue of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) was outside the scope of the fee agreement.
The deciding factor: The fee agreement specifically listed issues for which fees could be charged, and GAD was not one of them.
