The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for further examination and evidence collection, as the previous VA examination did not adequately capture the severity of the Veteran's disabilities during flaring episodes.

The deciding factor: Remand was necessary due to the lack of specific functional impacts and muscle weakness assessment during flare-ups in the previous examination report.

Claimed conditions

status post right frontoparietal subdural hematoma with residual right lower extremity neurological impairment, left lower extremity neurological impairment, left upper extremity neurological impairment, right upper extremity neurological impairment, hoarseness
