Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for right trochanteric pain syndrome and right knee strain, granted a separate 20 percent rating for right knee limitation of extension, and denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support higher ratings due to limited flexion and abduction in the thigh, or more severe flexion limitation in the knee. However, there was sufficient evidence to grant a separate 20 percent rating for right knee limitation of extension.
