Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, to include generalized anxiety disorder; a cervical spine disability; bursitis in the right hand and fingers; and bilateral plantar fasciitis due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to provide the Veteran with a VA examination to determine the etiology of his claimed conditions, as there is no current diagnosis but reported symptoms that could be suggestive of disabilities for VA compensation purposes.
