The Board remands the appeal to satisfy regulatory and statutory duties under 38 U.S.C. § 1720G and 38 C.F.R. § 71.20, as there is a reasonable possibility of aiding in substantiating the Veteran's claim for PCAFC eligibility.
The deciding factor: The serious injury incurred by this Veteran now meets the criteria for PCAFC eligibility with application of the VA MISSION Act of 2018 and 38 C.F.R. § 71.20(a)(2), but the AOJ undertook no further action on the claim after finding that the Veteran did not meet the regulatory threshold for serious injury in the October 2021 action.
