The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date prior to July 24, 2023, for the award of Level One benefits under the PCAFC.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the Veteran was in need of personal care services based on an inability to perform ADLs or a need for supervision or protection due to symptoms or residuals of neurological impairment prior to July 24, 2023.
