The Board remands the appeal concerning entitlement to eligibility for PCAFC due to errors in the AOJ's decision and lack of a determination on whether it is in the best interest of the Veteran to participate in the program.
The deciding factor: The record reflects the Veteran requires personal care services, but an opinion on whether his participation in the PCAFC program is in his best interest is lacking.

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.
