Denied
The appeal for eligibility of PCAFC benefits was denied due to the death of the Veteran, making it unachievable as both the Veteran and the Primary Family Caregiver applicant are precluded from completing and complying with all applicable requirements of the program.
The deciding factor: The denial is based on the legal requirement that final approval and designation for PCAFC benefits must occur before a veteran's death, which did not happen in this case.
