Granted
The Board granted an increased (Level 2) stipend in the PCAFC for the Veteran's caregiver due to the need for continuous supervision and protection based on the Veteran's medical conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran requires continuous supervision to ensure his safety, as he is unable to function safely and independently without assistance.
