Dismissed
The appeals for service connection for left-hand, right-hand, and left hip disabilities were granted, while the appeals for a right hip disability and left foot disability were denied.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence was not received to support the claims for service connection for a right hip disability and left foot disability. The claims for service connection for both hands and left hip on a VA Form 10182 filed in November 2024 are dismissed as moot due to the grant of benefits.
