Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a right hip disorder and denied increased ratings for the lumbar spine disorder, except granted a 40% rating from January 10, 2019, to January 14, 2024, and a 20% rating for RLE radiculopathy. The Board also remanded the issue of entitlement to TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a nexus between the right hip disorder and service or any service-connected disability; however, it was found that the lumbar spine disorder warranted a 40% rating from January 10, 2019, to January 14, 2024, due to limited motion, and RLE radiculopathy warranted a 20% rating.
