Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal for an addendum opinion to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's right hip disability, as well as whether it was caused or aggravated by service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: There has not been substantial compliance with previous remand directives due to the examiner dismissing the article on musculoskeletal injuries in military special operations forces without engaging with its substance.
