The Board remands the claim for a medical opinion to determine if the Veteran is in need of personal care services due to an inability to perform activities of daily living or a need for supervision or protection.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional error was found in the April 2025 CEAT review, which failed to address the November 2022 Veteran Functional Assessment Instrument reflecting the Veteran requires some assistance completing activities of daily living including eating, grooming, bathing and showering, dressing and undressing, toileting, prosthetics, mobility and a need for supervision.
