The Board has restored the previously assigned disability ratings for trochanteric pain syndrome and iliopsoas tendinitis of the right hip with limitation of flexion and thigh impairment from 20 percent to 20 percent, as the reductions were not based on improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not reflect an actual change in the disability that would justify a reduction in rating.
