Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal for a VA examination to assess the severity of the Veteran's right hip limitation of extension, as the previous examination did not comply with the requirements in Sharp v. Shulkin.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error and to satisfy regulatory or statutory duties related to the Veteran's claim for a higher initial rating for right hip limitation of extension.
