The Veteran's claims for higher ratings for right hip limitation of extension, right hip limitation of abduction, and voiding dysfunction have all been denied. The Board found that the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 10 percent for any of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed functional limitations but no findings meeting the criteria for higher ratings under applicable VA regulations.
