The Board granted service connection for right hip trochanteric pain syndrome and remanded the claim for service connection for kidney stones.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's current disability of right hip trochanteric pain syndrome is related to his active service based on credible lay statements and medical evidence, while further examination is needed for the kidney stones claim due to potential toxic exposure during military service.
