The Board denied the Veteran's eligibility for benefits under the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) as there was no evidence that he required personal care services for a minimum of six continuous months due to an inability to perform one or more activities of daily living, a need for supervision or protection, or a need for regular or extensive instruction or supervision.
The deciding factor: The Board found the evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran was in need of personal care services as he was independent with most ADLs and had no significant physical functional impairments.
