The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and restoration of a rating for his right hip and knee disabilities, finding that the evidence did not support higher or restored ratings.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the findings that the Veteran's disability levels did not meet the criteria for higher ratings and that there had been sufficient improvement to justify the reduction in the 10 percent rating for his right hip extension.
