Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic right and left hip strains, finding that these disabilities arose from the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on a private medical opinion that linked the Veteran's bilateral hip disabilities to his active duty service, with no evidence against the claims.
