Denied
The Board denied the claim for a disability rating greater than 10 percent for a right hip disability from March 27, 2007, to October 16, 2012.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support moderate incomplete paralysis of the femoral nerve during this period, as symptoms were mainly pain and numbness after prolonged use with normal strength, reflexes, and sensory responses.
