The veteran in this case served on active duty from June 1952 to January 1978. 2. In June 2007, the RO issued a rating decision increasing the evaluation for the veteran's bilateral hearing loss from 0% to 10%, effective January 13, 2005. 3. In June 2007, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant that the RO's action satisfies the veteran's appeal on all issues. CONCLUSION OF LAW The criteria for withdrawal of a Substantive Appeal by the appellant have been met. 38 U.S.C.A. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (West 2002); 38 C.F.R. §§ 20.202, 20.204 (2007). REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION Under 38 U.S.C.A. § 7105, the Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed. A Substantive Appeal may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.202 (2007). Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2007). The appellant has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed. ORDER The appeal is dismissed. ____________________________________________ JOHN J.
