The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been submitted to reopen the claim of entitlement to service connection for ovarian cyst with endometrial sinus tumor of the ovary, but denied entitlement to service connection.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was found, but the claim remains denied as there is no clear evidence linking the current conditions to service.
