The Board reopened the claim for service connection for a gynecological disorder, but denied service connection for a wrist disability and remanded claims for an intestinal disorder and a gynecological disorder.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record weighs against a finding that the Veteran's right wrist disability was causally or etiologically related to her military service. New and material evidence has been received sufficient to reopen the claim of service connection for a gynecological disorder, but the criteria for service connection are not met.
