Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for anxiety with insomnia to obtain a medical opinion addressing whether the Veteran's generalized anxiety disorder is aggravated by his service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The VA examination report did not address whether the Veteran's anxiety disorder was aggravated by his tinnitus, making it inadequate for determining service connection on a secondary basis.
