Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right hip strain as additional development is required.
The deciding factor: Insufficient medical evidence exists to determine whether the Veteran's hip strains are secondary to her service-connected knee conditions or obesity, which itself may be related to those knees. An addendum opinion is needed.
