The Board grants service connection for a dental condition for treatment purposes only, as the Veteran is rated at 100 percent disabled and meets Class IV eligibility.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the Veteran's 100 percent disability rating, which qualifies him under Class IV eligibility for dental treatment purposes.
