Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) as secondary to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and granted a 10 percent rating for left hip limitation of extension, while denying other claims.
The deciding factor: The TMJ was found to be aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected PTSD. Other conditions were not supported by evidence of a current disability.
