The Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for her service-connected prolapsed uterus has been denied as there is no evidence of the condition within one year prior to her January 2006 claim.
The deciding factor: There was no medical evidence showing the presence of a prolapsed uterus at any time within one year prior to the Veteran's claim, and she did not provide sufficient credible evidence to support her assertions.
