Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a right hip disability to schedule an examination to determine the current severity of the disability and address any inadequacies in the previous VA examination.
The deciding factor: The December 2022 VA examination is inadequate for adjudication purposes due to incongruities in the Veteran's reported flare-ups and range of motion measurements, necessitating a new examination.
