Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a left hip disability to ensure that the Veteran receives an appropriate examination and that any potential links between his service-connected knee disabilities and his left hip are properly addressed.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the need to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including scheduling issues and lack of an opinion on direct service connection and secondary service connection theories.
