The Veteran's claim for residuals of ovarian cyst has been reopened and is now pending further review. The right hip entrapment condition remains denied, with a remand to determine if the left hip condition is related to the service-connected right hip condition.,Service connection for oligomenorrhea (claimed as amenorrhea and a menstrual disorder) is also remanded due to conflicting theories of service connection.

The deciding factor: The reopening of the residuals of ovarian cyst claim does not establish direct service connection, but rather relies on new evidence submitted since the last final denial.,Service connection for oligomenorrhea remains in dispute as it involves both a residual from an in-service condition and a potential secondary relationship to another condition.
