Granted
The veteran's attorney is eligible for direct payment of fees based on past-due benefits awarded in a December 2022 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The appeal was granted because the December 2022 rating decision was not the initial decision regarding the severity of PTSD with MDD, including TDIU, and there was a pending increased rating claim at that time.
