Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral hip strain to obtain a VA medical opinion regarding its etiology, as there is an indication that it may be related to in-service physical training.
The deciding factor: Remand required due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error; no VA medical opinion was obtained prior to the June 2024 rating decision.
