The Veteran's eligibility to enroll in the VA PCAFC for a January 2020 application was denied due to lack of evidence showing he needed personal care services for six continuous months.,For the June 2020 and June 2021 applications, the Board found that there is no evidence indicating the Veteran requires daily personal care or supervision. The July 2021 decision stated the Veteran does not need a caregiver to meet his ADL requirements.
The deciding factor: The clinical reviews did not find objective medical evidence supporting the Veteran's need for personal care services, and the decisions were based on inconsistent findings in the records.,Medical opinions lacked explanation or considered incomplete information, leading to legal inadequacy of the decision.
