The Board has determined that the eligibility for benefits under the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) should be remanded due to a lack of adequate review in the July 2023 decision. The Veteran and his spouse contend that he is eligible for PCAFC, but the July 2023 determination found he did not meet eligibility criteria as there was no evidence supporting continuous personal care services for six months or need for regular supervision.
The deciding factor: The Board's decision is based on a lack of adequate review in the July 2023 decision regarding the Veteran's eligibility for PCAFC due to insufficient evidence supporting his claim.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
