Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a right hip disorder to obtain an addendum VA opinion that addresses all the evidence of record, including the Veteran's lay statements and the possible effects of the Veteran's service-connected pes planus.
The deciding factor: The opinions provided by the previous examiners were found inadequate due to reliance on the lack of medical evidence without consideration of lay statements.
