The Board denied the Veteran's eligibility for benefits under the VA Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) because he was not found to be in need of personal care services due to an inability to perform activities of daily living, a need for supervision or protection based on symptoms or residuals of neurological or other impairment or injury, or a need for regular or extensive instruction or supervision without which his ability to function in daily life would be seriously impaired.
The deciding factor: The CEAT determined that the Veteran did not require personal care services due to an inability to perform ADLs and did not meet the criteria for needing supervision or protection based on symptoms or residuals of neurological or other impairment or injury, nor regular or extensive instruction or supervision without which his ability to function in daily life would be seriously impaired.
