Partly granted
The Board denied a rating higher than 10 percent for left TMJD and remanded the claims for back, right knee, and left knee disabilities for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for TMJD as there was no limitation of interincisal range of motion to 34 mm or less. The back, right knee, and left knee disability claims were remanded due to inadequate examination results.
