The appeal for eligibility for benefits under the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA's) Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers was denied as a matter of law due to the Veteran and Caregiver no longer meeting the eligibility requirements.
The deciding factor: Eligibility for PCAFC benefits is precluded because the eligible Veteran and Family Caregiver are no longer eligible for benefits, specifically due to their divorce and the Caregiver not living with the Veteran after April 2023.
