Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of eligibility for enrollment in the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) due to a need for a more detailed and thoroughly explained medical opinion, as well as proper notice to the Veteran and his spouse.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on an invalid legal definition of 'supervision, protection, or instruction' under 38 C.F.R. § 71.20(a)(3), which has been invalidated by a Federal Circuit ruling.
