Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal for eligibility to enroll in VA's PCAFC due to pre-decisional errors, including an inadequate medical opinion and insufficient notice.
The deciding factor: The June 2021 CEAT review is legally inadequate and based on an incorrect interpretation of a 'need for supervision, protection, or instruction' as defined under 38 C.F.R. § 71.15, which has since been invalidated by the Federal Circuit.
