Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of January 26, 2022, for service connection for left hip degenerative arthritis and a 10 percent rating for limited extension of the left hip effective June 15, 2023. The claims for higher ratings for flexion and abduction were denied.
The deciding factor: The Board granted the lower ratings based on the functional limitations during flares as supported by medical evidence, while denying higher ratings due to insufficient evidence of more severe limitation in those areas.
