Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for a compensable rating for right hip strain (extension) and left knee scar, as the evidence did not support a higher disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right hip extension was greater than five degrees, and his left knee scar measured less than 929 square centimeters without underlying soft tissue damage or other disabling effects.
