Remanded (sent back)
The case is remanded to obtain a new examination that addresses the ameliorative effects of medication and provides more detailed information on the Veteran's left hip range of motion during flare-ups and after repeated use over time.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 Memorandum decision determined that the previous Board's statement of reasons or bases was inadequate because it failed to discount the ameliorative effects of medication when assigning a disability rating for the Veteran's left hip condition.
