Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection of right and left hip disabilities to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including failing to provide a VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to insufficient medical evidence to decide the claim, specifically the lack of an adequate VA examination or opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's hip conditions.
