Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a right ankle disability and remanded the claims for service connection for right and left hip disabilities due to potential pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current right ankle disability, while the VA examination was found inadequate for the hip claims due to missing relevant information.
