The appeal is granted as the September 11, 2020 discharge from benefits under the PCAFC program was proper due to intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrated by the Veteran against his Caregiver. The parties were discharged for cause and caregiver benefits continued for 90 days after the date of discharge.
The deciding factor: The appeal is granted as the September 11, 2020 discharge from PCAFC was proper due to IPV perpetrated by the Veteran against his Caregiver, which entitles continuation of benefits for 90 days under VA regulations.
