The Board has determined that new and material evidence has not been submitted to reopen the veteran's claims for service connection for pyelonephritis and urinary tract infection. The RO previously denied these claims in December 1986, but the veteran did not file a timely notice of disagreement.
The deciding factor: The provided evidence does not demonstrate that the veteran has chronic residuals from the urinary tract infections during service or that pyelonephritis diagnosed in 1986 was attributable to her period of service.
