1Opinion of the Court
LINN, Circuit Judge.
Elie Halpern (“Halpern”) appeals from a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (“Veterans’ Court”) dismissing Halpern’s application for attorney fees and expenses pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(A) (“EAJA”). Halpem v. Principi, 15 Vet.App. 416 (2002). Because the Veterans’ Court erred in concluding that it lacked jurisdiction to consider Hal-pern’s EAJA fee application, we reverse the dismissal of that application and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
