Denied
The Board denied service connection for left and right hip conditions as there was no in-service injury or disease of the hips, and the onset of symptoms occurred more than 30 years after service.
The deciding factor: The absence of documentation of any treatment for either hip during service and the onset of symptoms many years after separation from service outweighed the Veteran's recent assertions for compensation purposes.
