On appeal from the decision of the

Whether the effective dates of the payments for the Veteran's school age dependent children are proper.  



REPRESENTATION

Appellant represented by:	North Carolina Division of Veterans Affairs


ATTORNEY FOR THE BOARD

D. M. Ames, Counsel


INTRODUCTION

The Veteran had active service from August 1979 to September 1984 and from March 1986 to October 1993.

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a January 2009 decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  

A review of the Virtual VA paperless claims processing system does not reveal any additional documents pertinent to the present appeal.


FINDING OF FACT

In June 2013, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.


CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran have been met.  38 U.S.C.A. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (West 2002); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2012).


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.A. § 7105 (West 2002).  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2012).  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  

In a June 2013 statement, the Veteran stated that he wished to withdraw his appeal.  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.
