THE ISSUE

Entitlement to an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for service-connected migraine headaches.


REPRESENTATION

Veteran represented by:	Disabled American Veterans


ATTORNEY FOR THE BOARD

N. L. Northcutt, Counsel 



INTRODUCTION

The Veteran served on active duty from February 1966 to February 1969.

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal of a September 2010 rating decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Boise, Idaho.


FINDING OF FACT

The Veteran withdrew his appeal in January 2013.


CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of a Substantive Appeal have been met. 38 U.S.C.A. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (West 2002); 38 C.F.R. §§ 20.202, 20.204 (2012).


REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

A Substantive Appeal may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.202.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  In January 2013, the Veteran's representative indicated the Veteran's desire to withdraw his appeal.  Hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration, and the appeal must be dismissed.



ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.
