Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right hip disorder, left hip disorder, and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) as the evidence did not support a causal relationship between the current disabilities and the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found that the bilateral hip disorders were less likely than not caused by or aggravated by in-service complaints and the service-connected disabilities, and there was no clear medical evidence to suggest such a connection.
