The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a vertical root fracture of tooth number 18, finding no evidence that it was due to in-service trauma or disease.

The appeal for initial eligibility and any accrued benefits under VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) is denied as the Veteran was not an eligible veteran at the time of his death.
