The Veteran's right hip extension, flexion, and impairment are rated at 10 percent disabling from May 11, 2016. The Board granted a TDIU based on the benefit of doubt for the period from May 11, 2016 to February 1, 2021.
The deciding factor: VA examiners indicated that the Veteran could work in predominantly sedentary occupations due to her right hip pain, and her service-connected disorders made it difficult for her to maintain employment.
