Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for compensation under 38 USC 1151 for hypertension, stroke, and memory loss due to a need for an opinion on whether VA treatment caused or aggravated these conditions.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary as the AOJ did not obtain an opinion addressing whether carelessness, negligence, lack of proper skill, error in judgment or similar instance of fault on the part of VA related to the Veteran's hypertension treatment and resulted in additional disability, including stroke and memory loss.
