Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a back disability, right hip disability, and left hip disability to correct a duty to assist error that occurred prior to the April 2023 rating decision on appeal.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to the lack of VA examinations to determine the nature, extent, and etiology of the Veteran's back and bilateral hip conditions.
