Denied
The appeal for initial eligibility and any accrued benefits under VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is denied because the Veteran died before final approval into the PCAFC had been established.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was not an 'eligible Veteran' under 38 C.F.R. § 71.20 at the time of his death, and no benefits had accrued.
