Denied
The appeal for eligibility for benefits under the VA PCAFC was denied as a matter of law due to the Veteran not having any service-connected disability rated at 70 percent or more and his death during the pendency of the claim.
The deciding factor: Eligibility requires a service-connected disability rated at 70 percent or more, which the Veteran did not have, and the application process was not completed before his death.
