Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for eligibility for benefits under the VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is remanded due to a failure to satisfy a statutory duty under 38 U.S.C. § 5104 and an inadequate medical opinion from the Centralized Eligibility and Appeals Team (CEAT).
The deciding factor: The September 2021 notification of the AOJ decision was legally inadequate, and the CEAT's medical opinion did not meet the required standards.
