Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right leg length discrepancy secondary to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral hip disabilities and remanded several other claims related to his pelvic fractures and osteoarthritis.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on competent medical evidence indicating that the Veteran's right leg length discrepancy is proximately due to a surgical screw placement for his service-connected bilateral hip disabilities.
