The Board granted a Level 2 stipend under the PCAFC for the period on appeal based on the Veteran's inability to perform activities of daily living and full dependence on a caregiver.
The deciding factor: The Veteran required personal care services each time he completed three or more of the seven ADLs listed in the definition of an inability to perform an activity of daily living under the PCAFC, making him fully dependent on a caregiver to complete such activities.
