The Veteran withdrew the appeal for service connection for multiple disabilities, including back, left ankle, left hip, left knee, neck, right ankle, right hip, and right knee disabilities.

The Board granted service connection for a left hip disability, finding that the Veteran's current condition had its onset during active service.

The Board granted service connection for PTSD and denied a higher rating for tinnitus. The claims for service connection for various musculoskeletal disabilities were remanded.

The Board remands the claim for a left hip disability to correct a duty-to-assist error, as the Veteran was not afforded an examination prior to the rating decision.
