Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for periodontal disease for Class IV dental treatment purposes, denied service connection for a right elbow disability, and remanded the issue of service connection for left side hernia.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's right elbow disability began during active service or was related to an in-service injury. The Board found that the Veteran is entitled to Class IV dental treatment due to his 100% combined rating and individual unemployability status.
