Granted
The Board granted service connection for trochanteric pain syndrome, right hip and left hip (includes trochanteric bursitis) with sclerosis and calcific tendonitis based on the evidence showing a relationship to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the current disabilities were related to in-service incidents of right hip muscle ligament strain and bilateral hip pain during physical training tests, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
