Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral hip conditions due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in obtaining adequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was inadequate as it did not address aggravation and did not fully consider all of the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, necessitating further development.
