Granted
The veteran's left hip condition, including the hip replacement, is service-connected. The Board found that the veteran's in-service accidents likely caused his current hip issues.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the veteran, finding that his left hip condition is at least as likely as not related to an in-service injury or event.
