Denied
The appeal for eligibility of PCAFC benefits must be denied due to the death of the Veteran, as neither he nor the Primary Family Caregiver applicant can complete and comply with all applicable requirements of the program.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the Veteran's death precludes initial eligibility for PCAFC benefits, as there were no benefits which were due and unpaid at the time of his death.
