The Board found that the Veteran is not in need of personal care services for a minimum of six continuous months due to his ability to perform ADLs independently and does not have any neurological or physical impairments requiring supervision, protection, or instruction. The PCAFC eligibility decision was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support finding that the Veteran required personal care services as defined by VA regulations for a minimum of six continuous months due to inability to perform ADLs each time he completed one, need for supervision or protection based on neurological or physical impairment, or need for regular or extensive instruction or supervision.

What this means for you
A final Board denial may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, generally within 120 days of the Board mailing date. A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available. Check your own notice: this historical decision does not set your deadline.
