Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for left hip strain with limitation of flexion because the evidence did not show the required level of impairment.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations showed hip flexion of 100 and 105 degrees, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 5252 or 5253.
