Partly granted
The veteran's service connection for TMD and migraines was granted. The increased rating for allergic rhinitis with acute sinusitis was denied. Other conditions were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current TMD arose as a result of traumatic wisdom teeth extraction during active service, and that the Veteran's migraines developed during active service and persisted to the present.
