Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left hip disabilities, finding the evidence to be in equipoise. The claim for an acquired psychiatric disability was remanded for further consideration.
The deciding factor: The private physician's opinion supported a direct link between the Veteran's hip pain and his military service, leading to the grant of service connection.
