Partly granted
The Board restored the 10 percent rating for right hip strain (limitation of extension) and remanded other issues related to increased ratings and service connection.
The deciding factor: The reduction was improper as there was no sustained improvement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
