Granted
The Board granted Level 2 benefits under the PCAFC for the Veteran, as he is unable to self-sustain in the community and requires personal care services each time he completes three or more activities of daily living.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's spouse provided medical opinions that supported his need for personal care services due to cognitive decline and increased falls, leading to a full dependency on a caregiver.
