Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a right hip disorder to obtain an addendum opinion addressing the appropriate theories of entitlement and ensuring that any medical opinions are based on accurate factual premises.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 examiner's opinion was found to be inadequate due to errors in addressing pre-existing conditions, the Veteran's reported history, and the appropriate theories of entitlement.
