: If the fee agreement provides that VA will pay a 20 percent fee to the attorney or agent out of past due benefits and the claimant will pay direct to the attorney or agent an additional 5 percent fee, the total fee payable is 25 percent of the total amount of past due benefits awarded.
As noted above, when a contingent fee is limited to 20% of the amount of the past-due benefits awarded, those fees may be withheld from the award of past-due benefits and paid by VA directly to the agent or attorney. For a contingent fee amount greater than 20% of the amount of the past due-benefits awarded, those fees are payable by the veteran or claimant to the agent or attorney.
