The Board has granted service connection for the Veteran's left hip femoral acetabular impingement syndrome, finding that it is related to his in-service military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current left hip condition is more likely than not related to his active duty service due to the continuity of joint pain symptoms and reporting during and after service.
