The Board granted a 20 percent rating for right hip strain with trochanteric bursitis (limitation of flexion of thigh) and denied a higher rating, while dismissing the claim for service connection for a lumbar spine disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right hip disability was found to have manifested flexion limited to 25 degrees or less, warranting a 20 percent evaluation. The lumbar spine disorder appeal was dismissed due to a concurrent request for higher-level review of the same issue.
