Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an increased disability rating for stroke and right upper extremity weakness to correct a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to associate outstanding VA-authorized treatment records with the Veteran's file and obtain a new examination to determine the nature and severity of the residuals of his stroke.
