The Board denied the Veteran's surviving daughter's application for enrollment in VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) due to the failure to meet eligibility requirements prior to the Veteran's death.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient objective clinical documentation supporting a need for personal care services for a minimum of 6 continuous months, and no Primary Family Caregiver had been designated by VA prior to the Veteran's death, thus entitlement to PCAFC benefits could not be established as a matter of law.
