The Board denied ratings over 10 percent for the Veteran's right hip and bilateral knee disabilities throughout the appeal period.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating based on the severity of the Veteran's symptoms and limitations in range of motion, as well as the lack of findings that would warrant a higher or separate rating under any applicable Diagnostic Code.
