Denied
The Veteran's application for benefits under the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) was denied because his serious injury did not occur on or before May 7, 1975.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities and their onset dates do not meet the eligibility criteria for PCAFC benefits as they occurred after May 7, 1975.
