Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for eligibility for benefits under the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA's) Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is remanded due to a need for further development and correction of errors in notifying the Veteran and his spouse.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, as the April 2021 Centralized Eligibility and Appeals Team (CEAT) Review Consult was inadequate and did not provide complete notice required by law.
