Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for left and right hip disabilities, as well as entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) for a disability or disabilities other than coronary artery disease, prior to December 21, 2023.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary because of an inadequate medical nexus opinion and the need for further development to obtain a more accurate opinion that considers earlier complaints and lay evidence.
