Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for left hip strain with impairment of the thigh, limitation of flexion, and limitation of extension.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating as it did not meet the criteria for a 20 percent evaluation under Diagnostic Codes 5251 and 5253.
