I-1-2-120.Exhibit — ALJ or AAJ Approves Latest-Dated Fee Agreement After Determination in Subsequent Application Is Reopened

Earlier, we notified you that the determination dated [Date of determination on subsequent application] on the application you filed on [Date of subsequent application] was reopened. That action also vacated the approval, dated [Date of fee agreement approval in subsequent application], of the fee agreement filed with that application.

I approve the fee agreement dated [Date of latest-dated fee agreement] between you and your representative, subject to the condition that the claim results in past-due benefits. My determination is limited to whether the fee agreement meets the statutory conditions for approval and is not otherwise excepted from the fee agreement process. I neither approve nor disapprove any other aspect of the fee agreement.
