The Board granted service connection for a right hip condition, which is proximately due to the Veteran's service-connected right knee disability. The back and left knee conditions were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record demonstrates a nexus between the right hip condition and the service-connected right knee condition, while the back and left knee conditions require additional development.
