Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new examination to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ).
The deciding factor: The May 1999 and September 2020 VA examinations and medical opinion are inadequate, and the other evidence of record is insufficient to support the claim.
