Denied
The appeal for eligibility in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) was denied due to the Veteran's death before all necessary steps were completed.
The deciding factor: There is no legal basis for eligibility for benefits under the PCAFC as the Veteran died before the criteria for approval had been met, including the applicant assessment, education, and training requirements of 38 CFR §71.25(c).
