The Board remands the issue of eligibility to enroll in the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) due to an inadequate medical opinion and additional evidence that supports the Veteran's need for supervision and protection based on symptoms or residuals of neurological or other impairment.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that a review of the Veteran's record demonstrates a need for supervision and protection because the Veteran is wheelchair-bound due to a left above the knee amputation which results in physical and functional impairments that require the support of another person to ensure his health and safety.

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.
