Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for an acute ischemic stroke to ensure a VA medical opinion is provided.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error has occurred as no medical opinion was obtained regarding the Veteran's claim, necessitating a remand for further development.
