Partly granted
The Board granted the restoration of 10 percent ratings for left and right hip thigh impairments effective September 28, 2023, but denied higher ratings for all other issues.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work, thus supporting the restoration of previous ratings but denying increased ratings.
