Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an increased rating in excess of 20 percent for his service-connected temporomandibular disorder, effective August 29, 2022.
The deciding factor: There was no competent or credible evidence to support a finding that the Veteran's temporomandibular disorder warranted a higher rating than the currently assigned 20 percent disability evaluation.
