Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for further development to obtain a VA examination that clarifies the severity of the Veteran's right hip disabilities during flare-ups and with repeated use over time.
The deciding factor: The September 2022 VA examination is found inadequate as it does not provide proper estimations of range of motion limitations during flare-ups or with repeated use over time, based on the Veteran's lay statements.
