Your previous claim for service connection for a bladder condition was denied in December 2020. Since you did not submit new and relevant evidence within one year of that decision, your appeal is dismissed.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's application for benefits was not submitted on the correct form and she did not provide new and relevant evidence within the required timeframe.

A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
