Granted
The Board granted service connection for bruxism as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with MDD, anxious distress, and frequent panic episodes.
The deciding factor: The November 2024 VA examination report provided a favorable nexus opinion linking the Veteran's bruxism to her service-connected PTSD, supported by clinical history and medical literature.
