Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for eligibility to enroll in the VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is remanded due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically an inadequate medical decision regarding the Veteran's need for personal care services.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the April 2025 Centralized Eligibility and Appeals Team (CEAT) review did not adequately consider all favorable evidence of record and relied on an invalidated definition of 'need for supervision, protection, or instruction.'
