Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of eligibility for a higher-level (Level 2) stipend under the PCAFC due to an inadequate medical opinion regarding the Veteran's need for personal care services.
The deciding factor: The March 2025 CEAT review is legally inadequate as it does not address whether the Veteran is fully dependent on a caregiver for ADLs and supervision, protection or instruction on a continuous basis.
