The appeal for service connection for a left hamstring disability was dismissed as the Veteran opted into the Appeals Modernization Act review system within the required timeframe.
The deciding factor: The appeal was withdrawn through the Veteran's AMA opt-in in December 2020, and the Board lacks jurisdiction over this legacy appeal.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
