The Veteran's claim for service connection was previously denied, but new evidence submitted within a year of discharge from service has been considered. The evidence does not establish that her current conditions are related to service.
The deciding factor: New evidence includes the Veteran's statements and medical records from within one year of discharge, which do not provide sufficient certainty or specificity to establish a link between her current conditions and service.
