Denied
The appeal for eligibility in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA's) Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) was denied due to the Veteran's death before final approval and designation could be made.
The deciding factor: Final approval and designation of PCAFC benefits did not occur by the time of the Veteran's death, so there is no basis upon which to award the benefit sought in this case as a matter of law.
