Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for an increased rating for right hip strain was granted a 10% evaluation, but no higher. The claims for service connection for a sleep condition and compensable evaluations for left knee, right knee, and right hip disabilities were dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's right hip strain met the criteria for a 10% rating due to painful motion, while other claims lacked timely notice of disagreement or evidence supporting them.
