The Board denied a rating in excess of 10% for the Veteran's left hip conditions and granted a 10% rating for painful motion of extension, while dismissing an appeal regarding a proposed reduction in the right hip evaluation.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's hip disabilities did not meet the criteria for higher ratings but did warrant a 10% rating for painful motion of extension.
