The Board denied the Veteran's request for an extension of a temporary total evaluation for convalescence from left hip femoral acetabular impingement syndrome surgery with hip dysplasia, finding that there was no evidence demonstrating she required continued convalescence beyond November 1, 2018.

The deciding factor: The Board found the evidence did not support a finding of severe postoperative residuals or ongoing convalescence after November 1, 2018, as reported by the VA examiner and treating orthopedist.
