Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for the Veteran's left and right hip disabilities, except for a 10 percent rating from March 11, 2024, for both hips.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support higher ratings based on the criteria for limitation of extension, flexion, or thigh impairment prior to March 11, 2024, but did support a 10 percent rating from that date due to limitation of adduction in both hips.
