Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left hip conditions and a lower back condition due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examinations relied on an inaccurate factual premise and did not consider the Veteran's lay contentions of continuous symptoms since service, necessitating new opinions.
