Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a stroke due to duty-to-assist errors and other considerations.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors, including improper notification of an examination appointment, and because evidence reasonably raised a secondary service-connection theory prior to the rating decision.
