Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a left hip strain and lumbosacral strain with back spasm due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions of record are found to be inadequate as they fail to address the Veteran's report of pain both during and after his active service, and do not provide sufficient rationale.
