The Veteran's right hip tendonitis is currently rated at 10 percent, the maximum schedular rating available for this condition. The evidence does not support a higher rating as there is no ankylosis or significant limitation of motion.
The deciding factor: The current range of motion findings do not meet the criteria for any higher evaluation based on limitation of flexion or abduction.

- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran's rating reductions for right shoulder rotator cuff tendinitis, right hip tendonitis, right hip tendonitis with limitation of extension, left hip tendonitis with limitation of abduction, and left hip tendonitis with limitation of extension and atrophy of the thigh were found to be improper. The ratings have been restored.

The Veteran's appeal is remanded for further development regarding service connection claims for various conditions.
- Whole decision: Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claim for service connection of PTSD. The issues of increased rating for Right Hip Tendonitis and SMC based on loss of use of creative organ are remanded.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the most recent VA examinations for the Veteran's service-connected right hip tendonitis, degenerative arthritis of the lumbar spine, and torn medial meniscus, right knee are inadequate. Therefore, the claims must be remanded to obtain new examinations.
