The Veteran's request to readjudicate the claims for service connection for a jaw/dental condition and groin pain is granted. The claim for service connection for a jaw/dental condition is remanded, while the claim for service connection for groin pain remains denied.
The deciding factor: New evidence was submitted that supports the Veteran’s assertion of a link between her current jaw/dental condition and in-service dental surgery, necessitating further examination to determine causation.
