Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for dental issues was denied, but the claim for service connection for a right ankle disability was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a compensable rating for the dental issues, and additional development is needed for the right ankle disability claim.
