Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a VA medical opinion to determine if the Veteran's cerebral infarction is proximately caused or aggravated by his service-connected hypertension, as well as to decide special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance/housebound status.
The deciding factor: The record does not contain sufficient competent medical evidence to decide the claim, but indicates that the claimed disability may be associated with the in-service event, injury, or disease, or with another service-connected disability.
