Denied
The Board denied service connection for right hip arthritis, finding no evidence that the disability began during active service or is related to an in-service injury.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 VA examiner's opinion was based on a thorough review of the Veteran's medical history and found no evidence linking the current condition to service, including any in-service back pain attributed to a right hip injury.
