Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for residuals of cerebral infarction with right-sided hemiparesis and special monthly compensation based on the need for regular aid and attendance due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A medical opinion regarding whether the Veteran's residuals of cerebral infarction with right-sided hemiparesis have been aggravated by his service-connected hypertension is required, as the previous opinion did not address this aspect of the claim.
