The Board remands the issue of eligibility for benefits under the PCAFC to obtain an opinion on whether it is in the best interest of the Veteran to participate in the program.
The deciding factor: The April 2021 determination by the CEAT Review Consult was found inadequate due to a lack of supporting rationale and misinterpretation of regulations, leading to an approximate balance of evidence regarding the Veteran's need for personal care services.

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.
