The Board has decided that the eligibility for benefits under VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is remanded due to legal inadequacies in previous decisions. The decision also requires an adequate medical opinion and a compliant notice regarding the eligibility determination.
The deciding factor: The previous decisions were legally inadequate, lacking sufficient information on applicable laws and regulations, findings favorable to the claimant, or explanations of how to obtain evidence used in making the decision.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
