EDWARD S. SMITH, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner Williams appeals from a decision by the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) denying her request for attorney fees, following upon her successful appeal to the MSPB from a decision of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) denying her application for a physical disability retirement annuity. We hold that the MSPB lacked authority to consider Williams’ attorney fee request, vacate the MSPB decision, and grant OPM’s motion to dismiss Williams’ appeal for want of subject matter jurisdiction in this court, for the reasons set forth below.
