The Board has granted an initial disability rating of 30 percent for the veteran's residuals of dental injury, effective from October 30, 2002 to July 10, 2003. The veteran was previously rated noncompensable.
The deciding factor: The VA found that the veteran's current condition warranted a higher rating based on his ongoing disability and its impact on employment.
