I've been 100% TDIU for the past 13 years I am SMC with most the alphabets. But primarily loss use of both feet and hands. When the Caregivers program opened for my wife we applied of course we were denied. The reason was my records do not indicate a need for a caregiver. Plus I guess the interview my wife and I did they did not feel I needed enough help. I can't drive. I can't wash my legs or feet. I can't put on my socks. So I'm going to see my PCP but not sure what needs to be done and not sure if it needs to be for a period of time. Any suggestions? comments.

Also, if you do indeed have service connected loss of use of both hands and both feet you might benefit by reading the entire threads posted here at hadit on SMC "M" and "R"1 and "R-2". With your

38 CFR 3.352 contains all tou need to know about the qualifications for R-2, To fully understand, you will need to read it a few times.

I would suggest that you appeal the PCAFC caregivers denial directly to the BVA. Ask that your case be advanced on the docket for the reason that you are a R-1 veteran.
