The Board denied initial compensable ratings for right hip limitation of extension, flexion, and impairment, as well as an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for the right hip. The claim was also remanded to obtain a medical opinion on the Veteran's right upper extremity neuropathy and right lower extremity radiculopathy.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not support higher ratings due to limited range of motion, with the exception of a 10 percent rating for painful motion under DC 4.59.
