The Board has remanded the case to the RO for compliance with VCAA provisions, including notification and duty to assist requirements. The veteran's claim of entitlement to compensation for additional disability manifested by cerebrovascular accident under the provisions of 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151, and for service connection for cerebrovascular accident, claimed as secondary to service-connected PTSD, is now pending.
The deciding factor: The case was remanded due to procedural defects in notification and duty to assist requirements under the VCAA.
