Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a stroke. The Veteran contends that he suffered a stroke secondary to his service-connected hypertension and/or as a result of exposure to toxic substances while on active duty.
The deciding factor: The Board found the October 2023 VA examination inadequate because it did not address multiple medical record entries suggesting the Veteran had suffered a stroke.
