Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection for a left hip disability, to include as secondary to service-connected left knee and foot disabilities, is remanded due to the need for an addendum medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The February 2015 VA examination did not adequately address whether the service-connected left knee and foot disabilities aggravated the left hip disability, so a remand is required to obtain this information.
