Granted
The veteran's service connection for left and right hip degenerative pelvic enthesopathy, due to a service-connected lumbar spine and/or cervical spine disability, is granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's bilateral hip disabilities are at least as likely as not due to his active-duty service, specifically a fall from a military truck in September 1986.
