Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of increased ratings for left hip degenerative joint disease and TDIU due to a pre-decisional error in assigning overlapping disability evaluations.
The deciding factor: The AOJ has committed a pre-decisional error by violating the rule against pyramiding in assigning separate compensable evaluations for the left hip based on limitation of flexion, limitation of extension, and limitation of adduction.
