Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for initial compensable disability ratings for right and left hip and thigh disabilities due to inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner failed to provide actual or estimated range-of-motion measurements in weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing, which is required by Correia v. McDonald, 28 Vet.App. 158 (2016).
