The Board remands the claims for service connection for multiple disabilities, including a left hip disability, right hip disability, low back disability, left knee disability, right knee disability, neck disability, and left shoulder disability, to correct duty to assist errors.

The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA opinions are inadequate due to the lack of consideration of the Veteran's continuous symptoms since service and other relevant evidence in the claims file.
