Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a left hip disability to obtain an adequate medical opinion, as the previous VA examination was found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 VA examiner's opinion is considered inadequate due to failure to engage with in-service evidence and lack of specific reasoning for dismissing any connection between the current diagnosis and service.
