Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in an August 2023 dependency decision.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 decision was the initial AOJ decision with respect to the case, and there were no earlier decisions that could trigger the appellant's ability to charge fees for work performed prior to August 2023.
