The Board found the original decision was not supported by substantial medical evidence, specifically finding the reliance on Dr. Glancz's report to be erroneous and speculative. Dr. Barber's reports, however, were deemed substantial evidence supporting the applicant's claim that the fall and subsequent gait issues significantly impacted his right hip condition. The case is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision.
