The appeal is remanded to obtain an opinion from a medical professional regarding the Veteran's eligibility for enrollment in the PCAFC program.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the AOJ's reliance on the March 2021 CEAT report and January 2021 Functional Assessment and Caregiver Certification is misplaced due to inconsistencies and lack of sufficient medical reasoning, necessitating a remand for an adequate medical opinion.

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.
