Granted
The Board granted an effective date of March 20, 2023, for the award of benefits under the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC), but no earlier.
The deciding factor: The earliest effective date possible under the law is March 20, 2023, as this was the date the joint application that resulted in approval and designation of Level 1 eligibility was received by VA.
