The Board granted a rating of 30 percent, but not higher, for the Veteran's left hip disability based on limitation of flexion from September 25, 2024, while denying ratings in excess of 20 percent and entitlement to TDIU.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity of the Veteran's left hip disability during flare-ups and with repeated use over time, which limited flexion to at worst 20 degrees from September 25, 2024.
