Granted
The Board granted eligibility for direct payment of attorney fees from past due benefits awarded in a January 2023 rating decision. The Veteran's service-connected disabilities were granted increased ratings, making the issue of entitlement to a TDIU moot.
The deciding factor: The appellant is eligible for fees arising from the January 2022 claim because it sought the same or similar benefit on the same or similar basis as that denied in the July 2021 rating decision.
