Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and special monthly compensation, as well as remanded a claim for service connection of dental avulsion.
The deciding factor: Denial was based on the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled examinations without good cause, which is dispositive under 38 C.F.R. § 3.655(b).
