Denied
The Board denied a rating higher than 10 percent for post arthroscopic labral repair left hip residual pain and an effective date prior to May 20, 2024, for service connection of the same condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's disability did not meet the criteria for a higher rating or an earlier effective date due to the lack of additional functional loss during flare-ups or after repeated use over time.
