The Board has denied service connection for left hip condition and Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). The Veteran's current conditions are not considered to be related to his military service.,Service connection was denied as the evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran had a current disability or that any diagnosed disability is related to his active duty.
The deciding factor: The Board found no credible evidence of left hip condition during service and concluded there is no link between the current condition and military service. For GBS, the Board noted it was first diagnosed many years after separation from service and did not manifest within a presumptive period.,Both conditions were denied as the preponderance of the evidence does not support a finding that they are related to service.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
