The Veteran's right hip limitation of extension is granted a 10 percent rating throughout the appeal period. The Veteran's right hip limitation of flexion is denied any higher than a 10 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right hip limitation of extension was found to be at worst 20 degrees, which meets the criteria for a 10 percent rating under DC 5251. The Veteran's right hip limitation of flexion did not meet or exceed the 30 degree limit required for a higher than 10 percent rating.
