The Board has determined that the Veteran's right hip disability and anxiety disorder are not service-connected, and therefore denied both claims. The Veteran's current anxiety disorder is evaluated at a 50% rating.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not support a finding of direct service connection for either condition.
