Does anyone know if EAJA applies ONLY with a remand or would it include a win for the VET?
Obviously, if a Veteran is considering appealing, then knowing whether he could get attorney fees paid by EAJA is a big deal. Carrie Weletz at Bergman and Moore talked about EAJA in a May 2 podcast, but another source indicated that the VA only pays EAJA in the case of a remand, because when the VET is awarded a "win" and he is represented by an attorney, the Vet has to pay attorney fees.
It would be awesome if Carrie or another law firm would respond. Or, if you are a Vet and got your win and had the EAJA pay the fees, then that would be valuable information. Thanks.
