Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a right hip injury to ensure that all relevant evidence is obtained and considered.
The deciding factor: The AOJ's failure to verify or ascertain the nature and scope of the Veteran's reserve service, as well as its failure to obtain relevant VA and private medical records, constitutes pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors that must be corrected on remand.
