The Board remands the claim for eligibility under the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) to obtain additional evidence and a medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 CEAT review is not adequate as it failed to address relevant evidence, specifically the January 2024 Veteran Functional Assessment Instrument reflecting the Veteran requires some need for 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.
