Granted
The Board granted a Level 2 stipend under the PCAFC for the period prior to the Veteran's death in June 2025, as the evidence supported that the Veteran required personal care services each time he completed three or more activities of daily living and was fully dependent on his caregiver.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran met the criteria for a higher-level stipend (Level 2) due to his need for continuous supervision, protection, or instruction from his caregiver prior to his death.
