The Board has granted eligibility to attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in a May 2024 rating decision, which included the grant of service connection for left forearm limitation of flexion.
The deciding factor: The October 2022 denial was an initial AOJ decision that triggered the appellant's ability to charge fees. The September 2023 supplemental claim resulted in a grant of service connection for left forearm limitation of flexion, which is objectively related to the Veteran's service-connected left ulna and radius disability.
