Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for an anxiety disability, finding no current diagnosis separate from PTSD. The left shoulder disability was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a separate diagnosis of anxiety and the Veteran's anxiety symptoms were subsumed under her service-connected PTSD. For the left shoulder, there is insufficient evidence to determine its etiology, necessitating a remand for an examination.
