Granted
The Board granted service connection for temporomandibular disorder with crepitus and jaw deviation on opening, finding that the condition began during active service.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's current temporomandibular disorder with crepitus and jaw deviation on opening arose in service, and the Board resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
