Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right hip disabilities to obtain an adequate VA medical opinion addressing the Veteran's duties as a pilot.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examinations were found inadequate due to lack of rationale and failure to address relevant evidence, necessitating a new examination under the direct service connection theory.
