Partly granted
The Board denied initial ratings in excess of 10 percent for degenerative arthritis of the right and left hips, but granted a 10 percent rating from April 12, 2011, for both hip conditions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hip disabilities did not meet the criteria for higher ratings due to limited range of motion, while some periods showed noncompensable limitation which warranted a 10 percent rating under certain diagnostic codes.
