Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a medical examination and opinion to determine the etiology of the Veteran's left hip condition, including whether it is related to service or secondary to a service-connected right knee condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence at the time of the RO's decision was insufficient to establish a link between the Veteran's left hip condition and his military service, necessitating a remand for an adequate medical opinion.
