The Board granted an initial disability rating of 10 percent for limitation of the thigh due to left hip strain and denied a compensable disability rating for limitation of extension due to left hip strain. The claims for service connection for a right hip condition, PTSD, and hemorrhoids were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 5253 for the Veteran's left hip strain but did not support a compensable rating for limitation of extension due to left hip strain. The claims for service connection for a right hip condition, PTSD, and hemorrhoids were remanded due to pre-decisional errors.
