Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a compensable rating prior to May 1, 2024, and an initial rating in excess of 10 percent from May 1, 2024, to June 24, 2025, for right hip strain, abduction, adduction, and rotation. The Veteran is now receiving the maximum schedular rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of limitation of rotation or abduction that would warrant a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 5253.
