The Board denied service connection for a dental disability for compensation purposes and remanded claims for acne, left leg shin splints, right leg shin splints, and TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran does not have a compensable dental condition or the necessary evidence to support service connection for the other conditions on appeal.
