Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased rating for right hip degenerative joint disease, limitation of flexion, as the evidence did not support a finding that his symptoms more nearly approximated the criteria for a 20 percent disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right hip flexion was limited to 110 degrees at most, which does not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
