The Board granted service connection for right temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) and bruxism, lumbar spine strain, and erectile dysfunction and hypogonadism. The appeal was denied for an initial compensable rating for eczema.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports the Veteran's claims for service connection for TMJ and bruxism, lumbar spine strain, and erectile dysfunction and hypogonadism due to their onset during active duty. However, there is no evidence that the eczema condition meets the criteria for a compensable rating.
