The Board granted restoration of the 20 percent rating for a right hip disorder (limitation of flexion) effective January 19, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed improvement in the Veteran's service-connected right hip disorder was transient and did not reflect an actual improvement in his ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
