Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for right total hip replacement, to include as secondary to bilateral knee disabilities, for readjudication based on new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: New medical opinion raises a theory of entitlement that was not previously addressed, warranting readjudication of the claim.
