Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection of a left and right hip disorder, to include as secondary to service connected disabilities, for an addendum VA medical opinion addressing aggravation.
The deciding factor: The VA opinions are inadequate based on the examiner's failure to render opinions as to whether the Veteran's bilateral hip disorder condition is aggravated by his service connected disabilities.
