The Veteran's eligibility for benefits under VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) was denied because he is not service-connected for any disability or combination of disabilities rated at 70 percent or more.
The deciding factor: Basic eligibility for PCAFC benefits cannot be established as the Veteran is not service connected for any disability or combination of disabilities rated at 70 percent or more, which is a threshold requirement.
