Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for left hip osteoarthritis to obtain an additional medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 VA medical opinion is found inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's assertions and relied solely on the absence of in-service treatment records.
