Granted
The Board granted service connection for a right hip disability, finding that the Veteran's current condition is related to an injury sustained during active duty.
The deciding factor: The positive nexus opinion from a private clinician was given high probative value due to its consideration of the Veteran's lay statements and medical evidence.
