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 meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation in any of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed painful motion but no limitation of range of motion sufficient to warrant higher ratings under applicable VA rating criteria.
