Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of whether the appellant is eligible to receive a direct payment of an attorney fee based on past-due benefits due to an incomplete notice provided by the agency of original jurisdiction.
The deciding factor: The fee decision was legally inadequate as it did not properly identify the amount of past-due benefits from which the attorney fee is sought, frustrating the intent of required notification under a federal regulation.
