Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matters for additional development, specifically requesting clarification from Lutheran Medical Center (now NYU Langone Health) regarding the type of word list used to evaluate the Veteran's speech discrimination ability during his July 2009 examination.
The deciding factor: There has not been substantial compliance with the Board's previous remand directives due to lack of response from the requested facilities, necessitating another remand for further development.
