Denied
The Board denied increased ratings for the veteran's right hip conditions, finding that the current disability levels did not warrant higher ratings under applicable diagnostic codes.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's range of motion in his right hip was within the limits required to maintain the noncompensable ratings, and no additional functional impairment due to pain or other factors was demonstrated.
