Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for a dental disability was denied. The claim for tinnitus was dismissed due to untimely filing. The claim for anxiety was remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found no evidence of dental trauma or disease during service, the appeal for tinnitus was untimely, and the Veteran's lay statement about anxiety required a VA examination.
