Denied
The attorney is eligible for the payment of fees based on past-due benefits from a June 2025 rating decision; the Veteran's appeal contesting fee eligibility is denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that all necessary requirements to establish the attorney's eligibility to receive a fee have been met, and the June 2025 rating decision was not the initial decision with respect to the case for service connection for diabetes.
