The Board remands the claim for eligibility under the VA Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) due to an inadequate opinion from the Centralized Eligibility and Appeals Team (CEAT).
The deciding factor: The October 2021 CEAT opinion is found inadequate as it failed to address evidence suggesting the Veteran requires supervision, instruction, or protection.

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.
