ORDER

The legacy appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

The Veteran withdrew the legacy appeal, which consisted of the issue of service connection for a hiatal hernia with reflux, when he opted in the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA) by submitting an August 2020 supplemental claim following the July 2020 Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC). 

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The issue of service connection for a hiatal hernia with reflux is dismissed.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.1302.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed.  38 U.S.C. § 7105.  

In August 2020, the Veteran submitted a supplemental claim regarding the issue of service connection for a hiatal hernia with reflux following the July 2020 SSOC regarding the legacy appeal of the issue of service connection for a hiatal hernia with reflux.

Accordingly, the Veteran withdrew the legacy appeal. 

Therefore, as there remains no allegation of error of fact or law for appellate consideration, the legacy appeal is dismissed.
