Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left hip femoral acetabular impingement syndrome and right hip strain due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it failed to consider relevant evidence and did not adequately explain how a lack of contemporaneous medical records affects the likelihood of in-service onset.
