Denied
The Board denied service connection for a right hip condition, finding no evidence of a separate and distinct disability from the Veteran's service-connected right lower extremity radiculopathy. The claim for a left lower extremity nerve condition was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners concluded that the Veteran's reported symptoms were related to his service-connected right lower extremity lumbar radiculopathy and not a separate hip disability, and there was no evidence of a current diagnosis of a left lower extremity nerve condition.
