Remanded (sent back)
The appeal regarding eligibility for enrollment in the Department of Veterans Affairs' Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is remanded to obtain a more detailed and thoroughly explained medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The Board must remand the appeal because the AOJ's failure to obtain an adequate opinion constitutes a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error, as the CEAT review consultation did not provide any reasoning or rationale for the denial of the Veteran's application.
