Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for temporomandibular mandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, secondary to the Veteran's service-connected psychiatric disability on an aggravation basis. The claim for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), to include as secondary to service-connected disabilities, was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record established that the Veteran's TMJ disorder has been aggravated by his service-connected psychiatric disability.
