The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right hip disability, as there is no evidence of a current disability and no in-service injury or illness related to the condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran has had a right hip disability at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim. There is no VA or private medical treatment for a right hip disability, and the Veteran has not provided lay descriptions of its symptoms or whether such results in functional impairment.
