Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a left hip condition and hypertension as further development is needed to obtain adequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The August 2022 VA examinations were inadequate because they only provided opinions addressing causation without addressing aggravation, and did not adequately consider all theories of entitlement or address the Veteran's lay statements.
