Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for a left foot disability was granted, but the claim for a dental disability was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence regarding the left foot disability was in approximate balance, applying the benefit-of-the-doubt rule, while the dental disability lacked sufficient evidence to establish a service connection.
