The appeal for eligibility for benefits under the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA's) Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) was denied because the evidence does not support that the Veteran is in need of personal care services.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not meet the criteria for a need for supervision or protection based on symptoms or residuals of neurological or other impairment or injury, and there was no evidence to suggest she required regular or extensive instruction or supervision without which her ability to function in daily life would be seriously impaired.
