Granted
The appeal was granted, and N.K. is not eligible to the direct payment of agent fees based on past-due benefits awarded in a January 2024 rating decision.
The deciding factor: N.K. did not represent the Veteran during the period for which the past-due benefits were granted, and no NOD was filed regarding the effective date of TDIU.
