The Board has found that the veteran's service-connected residuals of a nondisplaced fracture of the left ilium result in no more than slight knee or hip disability, and thus does not warrant a rating higher than the current 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show any significant impairment beyond what is already reflected by the current 10 percent rating for nonunion with slight knee or hip disability.
