Remanded (sent back)
The appeal regarding eligibility for the Department of Veterans Affairs' Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is remanded to obtain a medical opinion addressing whether the Veteran needs supervision or protection based on symptoms or residuals of neurological or other impairment or injury, and/or regular or extensive instruction or supervision without which his ability to function in daily life would be seriously impaired.
The deciding factor: The Board must remand the appeal due to the Centralized Eligibility and Appeals Team's (CEAT) failure to address relevant evidence regarding the Veteran's need for supervision, protection, and instruction based on his service-connected PTSD with persistent depressive disorder and associated symptoms.
