Denied
The Board denied the veteran's attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in an April 2023 rating decision because there was no qualifying review request to that initial AOJ decision.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a qualifying review request, such as a NOD, HLR, or supplemental claim, was not filed prior to the February 2023 claim.
