The Veteran's claim to reopen service connection for residuals of a right hip injury (claimed as pulled pelvic joint) is granted. Service connection for this condition is denied.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was submitted, but the preponderance of the evidence does not support a current diagnosis or functional limitation related to the claimed hip disability.
