Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of a right hip disability to ensure that all necessary evidence is obtained and reviewed.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 opinion is inadequate because it relied on potentially inaccurate premises regarding the Veteran's employment history and obesity, which may have affected the examiner's conclusion about the etiology of the right hip disability.
