Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a left hip condition, right hip condition, and tinnitus to correct an error by the AOJ in satisfying its duty to assist under 38 U.S.C. § 5103A.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error regarding the adequacy of VA examinations for both hip conditions and tinnitus, as well as new evidence received since the previous denial.
