Granted
The Board granted service connection for a right hip disability as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral ankle disability, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in relative equipoise regarding whether the Veteran's right hip disability is secondary to his service-connected bilateral ankle disability, and the Board resolved reasonable doubt in his favor.
