Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a dental disability as secondary to hypoparathyroidism, but denied increased ratings for hypoparathyroidism, Bell's palsy, right hand cramping and numbness, and left hand cramping and numbness.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's dental issues were related to his service-connected hypoparathyroidism, but there was no additional evidence of worsening for the other conditions.
