Denied
The Board denied service connection for torus mandibularis as there was no evidence of a current disability. The claim for PTSD was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of a current diagnosis of torus mandibularis, and the Veteran's lay statements were not sufficient to establish the presence of a disability or its etiology.
