The Board has decided to remand the Veteran's claim for service connection for transient global amnesia, as there is insufficient evidence in the record and a new examination is needed.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran's last episodes of transient global amnesia were resolved, but did not provide sufficient rationale or current findings to adjudicate the claim.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.

- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that remand is required for several issues, including service connection for stroke and memory loss, as well as an increased rating for PTSD. The AOJ must verify the Veteran's claimed in-service exposures, obtain all relevant treatment records, and provide a medical nexus opinion regarding the nature of his disabilities.
- Denied
The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for PTSD was denied as there is no indication of a pending claim prior to July 27, 2020.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected residuals of thrombosis, TIA or cerebral infarction (claimed as stroke) manifesting by weakness and tremor of the right upper extremity are rated at 40 percent.
- Dismissed
The appeals for service connection for insomnia, memory loss, and hearing loss are dismissed. Service connection for pulmonary fibrosis is granted under the PACT Act.
