The Board has determined that new evidence received since the final October 2008 decision warrants readjudication of the claim for service connection for left hip degenerative arthritis. However, after reviewing all available evidence and medical records, including VA treatment records and lay statements, the Board finds no causal relationship between the Veteran's current left hip disability and his military service.

The Board granted service connection for right and left hip degenerative arthritis as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected right ankle and knee conditions, and major depressive disorder as secondary to his service-connected knee and ankle conditions. The Board also granted a 10 percent rating for allergic rhinitis.

The Board remands the claims for service connection for left ankle, right ankle, bilateral hip conditions and entitlement to specially adapted housing or special home adaptation grant as there is insufficient evidence to determine if the Veteran's pre-existing conditions were aggravated during his period of ACDUTRA.

The Board denied service connection for a left hip disability as secondary to right foot disabilities, finding no evidence that the Veteran's left hip disability was caused or aggravated by his service-connected right foot disabilities.

The Board granted earlier effective dates for the grants of a noncompensable disability rating for left hip limitation of extension, a 20 percent disability rating for left hip limitation of flexion, and a 20 percent disability rating for left hip degenerative arthritis, but denied an earlier effective date for service connection for a painful right hip scar.
