Denied
The attorney's appeal for payment of fees based on past-due benefits awarded from the August 2022 rating decision was denied.
The deciding factor: The fee agreement explicitly limited the attorney's fee to a specific disability, and no additional retroactive compensation was awarded that would have triggered the fee payment.
