Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied earlier effective dates for the grant of service connection for right hip strain with degenerative arthritis and remanded issues related to initial ratings and left hip condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were not supported by evidence indicating an intent to file a claim prior to May 23, 2022, and additional examination was needed due to incomplete medical evaluations.
