The Board made a favorable finding that the Veteran has a need for personal care services for at least six continuous months based on an inability to perform activities of daily living, but remanded the claim for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the April 2024 CEAT review was legally inadequate and did not adequately address the impact of the Veteran's advanced diabetes mellitus on his ability to perform ADLS. The Board also considered lay testimony and medical opinions from providers, which supported the need for personal care services.
