Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a higher rating of cerebral infarction is remanded. The VA needs to clarify the specific nerves and muscle groups affected by the veteran's condition.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error that occurred prior to the April 2023 rating decision.
