The Veteran's limitations in performing activities of daily living are consistent with being unable to sustain himself in the community, and the Board has granted Level 2 benefits under the PCAFC program.
The deciding factor: The Veteran is found to be unable to self-sustain in the community due to his inability to perform three or more enumerated activities of daily living (ADLs) including bathing, dressing, undressing, toileting, and mobility, requiring personal care services each time he completes these ADLs.
