The Board denied service connection for residuals of right hip injury, other than a scar. The Veteran's claim was previously denied in November 2005 and reopened by the RO in February 2010. However, the RO continued to deny service connection for residuals of right hip injury, other than a scar.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was no persuasive evidence linking any right hip arthritis or right hip neuropathy to the Veteran's in-service right hip injury.
