Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for eligibility to enroll in the Program for Comprehensive Assistance for Caregivers (PCAFC) because he does not have a single service-connected disability rated at 70 percent disabling or a combination of service-connected disabilities rated at 70 percent.
The deciding factor: Eligibility under the PCAFC program requires a serious injury incurred or aggravated in the line of duty, which is defined as any service-connected disability rated at 70 percent or more by VA or a combined rating of 70 percent or more. The Veteran's total combined rating is only 60 percent.
