The Board denied service connection for a left hip disability and remanded claims for right foot hallux valgus, left foot hallux valgus, right hip disability, and right shoulder disability due to inadequate medical opinions.

The deciding factor: Inadequate medical opinions were provided for the claims of right foot hallux valgus, left foot hallux valgus, right hip disability, and right shoulder disability. The evidence did not demonstrate a current disability for the left hip, leading to its denial.
