Denied
The Board denied a separate compensable rating for limitation of right hip flexion, as the Veteran's right hip flexion has never been measured or estimated at less than 100 degrees and does not rise to the level of a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 5252.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's right hip pain did limit his range of motion but these limitations did not rise to the level of a compensable rating under the criteria of Diagnostic Code 5252.
