The Board has granted service connection for trochanteric pain syndrome of the left hip and right hip, finding that there is a continuity of symptoms since military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found medical evidence of a diagnosis of trochanteric pain syndrome condition during the appeal period, with an onset in 2013 (during the Veteran's military service), and considered the continuity of symptomatology evident in both service and post-service treatment records.
