The Board denied the veteran's request to reopen her claim for service connection of a urinary tract infection and also denied an initial compensable disability rating for trichomonas vaginitis effective from December 1, 1994.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence was not submitted to reopen the previously denied claim of entitlement to (primary) service connection for a urinary tract infection. The veteran did not require continuous treatment for trichomonas vaginitis after December 1, 1994.
