The Board granted service connection for a dental condition for the purpose of obtaining VA dental treatment, as the Veteran's service-connected disabilities are rated at 100 percent by schedular evaluation.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran meeting the eligibility requirements under 38 C.F.R. § 17.161(h) for Class IV treatment due to a combined schedular rating of 100 percent.
