Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for total left hip replacement/avascular necrosis of the left hip, total right hip replacement/avascular necrosis of the right hip, status post lumbar laminectomy, and diabetes mellitus, type II, as new and relevant evidence has been received since the Veteran's RAMP opt-in on June 28, 2018.
The deciding factor: The Board found that new and relevant evidence had been submitted regarding the bilateral hip, lumbar spine, and diabetes claims, necessitating a readjudication of these claims.
