Granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left hip disabilities based on a positive nexus opinion from the July 2021 VA examiner.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is at least in relative equipoise as to whether service connection for left and right hip disabilities is warranted, due to the Veteran's fall during active duty that caused immediate trauma leading to arthritis of his hips.
