Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection of right and left hip CAM type femoro-acetabular impingement as secondary to neuropathy, lateral cutaneous nerve, left due to an inadequate April 2022 VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The April 2022 VA medical opinion is inadequate because it did not provide any opinion on aggravation and the claims must be remanded for a new addendum opinion that complies with the standard of secondary causation and aggravation established by law.
