The Board has determined that new and material evidence has not been presented to reopen the veteran's claim for service connection for residuals of a mouth injury, including loss of bone, pain, numbness, and injury to the lower lip. The claim is therefore denied.
The deciding factor: The submitted evidence does not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim for residuals of a mouth injury.
