Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to increased ratings for left hip trochanteric pain syndrome with degenerative arthritis, as the March 2024 VA examination is inadequate due to inconsistencies regarding flare-ups.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 VA examination was found to be inconsistent and did not provide an estimate of range of motion during flare-ups, necessitating a remand for a new examination.
