Denied
The appeal for benefits under the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) was denied because the Veteran died before meeting all eligibility requirements, and these requirements could not be met posthumously.
The deciding factor: The application approval criteria of 38 C.F.R. § 71.25 had not been met at the time of the Veteran's death, and due to his death, they can never be met.
