Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to obtain an etiological opinion and correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a lack of sufficient medical evidence to support the service connection claim, specifically an inadequate rationale from the private psychologist's opinion.
