How to proceed?

Good evening,

I want to apologies about dropping so many questions.  I half assed my claims all of these years and am finally motivated. 

One of my original claims that were denied was a shoulder injury I suffered during PT 45 days before I got out. I was denied out right for 'no evidence to warrant service connection for a chronic disability associated with your right shoulder. '

On my final physical it was noted I had a ' suprascapular rotater cuff strain.'  Of course it wasn't chronic yet, it was fresh. I also checked painful shoulder. 

They also denied device connection for tooth injury residuals.  On my dual physical I also noted admission to a  CSH for severe tooth infection, had oral surgery with a cyst removal from jaw.  As well as a severe allergic reaction to the medicine they gave me. 

Is this enough to be considered new material evidence?  How would you go forward?

I go forgot to say this claim was in 2011.

If the decision was made in 2011 and you did not file an appeal it will be a new claim.  I would suggest you get an IMO for your shoulder and then proceed from there.  IMO (independent medical opinion).

As far as the dental, it appears you received routine treatment.  I had a dentist slip with a drill and open up my entire inside cheek.  It healed and was just a thing.  The reaction to the medication is not ratable unless it caused some permanent issue.

So I should make this a new claim?
