Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of eligibility to enroll in the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) due to an inadequate medical opinion regarding the Veteran's need for personal care services.
The deciding factor: The December 2021 CEAT determination is found to be inadequate as it does not meet the requirements for an adequate opinion and was based on an incorrect interpretation of a 'need for supervision, protection, or instruction' as defined under 38 C.F.R. § 71.15.
