DOCKET NO. 16-32 853
DATE:	December 4, 2018
ORDER
The appeal concerning entitlement to a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
In October 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision on the issue of entitlement to a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss, the Veteran withdrew his entire appeal.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of a Substantive Appeal as to the issues of entitlement to a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss is have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
The Veteran had active service from May 1968 to June 1970 and from July 1970 to June 1989.
This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from an April 2015 rating decision issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Bilateral Hearing Loss
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 (2012).  A substantive appeal may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. §§ 20.202, 20.204 (2017).  Withdrawal may be made by the Veteran or by his authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).
In October 2018, the Veteran submitted a statement indicating that he wished to withdraw all further consideration of his case.  Therefore, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the entire appeal and it is dismissed as to all of the issues on appeal.
