Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of eligibility for PCAFC benefits due to an inadequate medical opinion and a need for new evidence.
The deciding factor: The CEAT's April 2021 review is legally inadequate, failing to provide clear conclusions with supporting data and a reasoned medical explanation connecting the two. A new medical opinion is required to address the criteria for eligibility for PCAFC benefits as set forth in 38 C.F.R. § 1720G(a)(2)(C).
