Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for right hip osteoarthritis and right hip scars, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating than 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right hip flexion was limited to no more than 90 degrees with pain, which did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 5252. The extension and scars were also not compensable based on the evidence of record.
