The Board has not decided the service connection claims for cerebrovascular accident (CVA or stroke) and acquired psychiatric disorder (PTSD), but has remanded them due to new evidence received since previous decisions. The decision on these claims will be considered as granted if some issues are granted and others are denied.
The deciding factor: New evidence submitted by the Veteran relates to an unestablished fact necessary to substantiate the claim for service connection, raising a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claims.
