Granted
The Board granted service connection for a temporomandibular joint syndrome with bruxism, finding that the Veteran's jaw symptoms were incurred in service and existed uninterrupted until being diagnosed as temporomandibular joint syndrome with bruxism.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows currently diagnosed temporomandibular joint disabilities that were incurred in service, meeting the criteria for direct service connection.
