The Board remands the matter to obtain a medical opinion regarding the Veteran's eligibility for benefits under the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC).
The deciding factor: The May 2024 CEAT review is not adequate to inform a decision on the merits, as it failed to address the Veteran's need for personal care services due to activities of daily living and supervision.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
