The appeal concerning eligibility for the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is remanded due to errors in the previous decision that need correction.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran has been in need of personal care services for at least six continuous months due to a need for supervision or protection, but there was no adequate determination on whether his participation in PCAFC would be in his best interest. Therefore, the appeal must be remanded for further evaluation.

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.
