Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new medical determination regarding eligibility for PCAFC benefits, as the previous decision was found to be inadequate.
The deciding factor: The CEAT's March 2023 review did not provide sufficient rationale and failed to address relevant lay evidence, necessitating a remand for an adequate medical opinion.
