Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for an increased disability evaluation for his service-connected left hip total arthroplasty to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The VA treatment records and examination report from 2019-2023 are inadequate, necessitating additional evidence and a more comprehensive medical opinion.
