Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of a right hip disability, to include as secondary to a service-connected knee and hip condition. The VA needs to provide an adequate examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not complete sections on secondary service connection causation and aggravation, and did not address all relevant evidence.
