The Board denied the Veteran's eligibility for benefits under the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) as he was found to be independent in all activities of daily living and did not require supervision, protection, or instruction.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran is in need of personal care services for a continuous six months due to an inability to perform ADLs or because he is in need of supervision, protection, or instruction.
