DOCKET NO. 17-15 526
DATE:	December 12, 2018
ORDER
The appeal as to the matter of an increased rating for bilateral hearing loss is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
On March 15, 2018 and November 21, 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from both the Veteran and his authorized representative, respectively, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant and his authorized representative have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
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.  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
In the present case, the Veteran perfected an appeal with respect to a claim for an increased rating for bilateral hearing loss in March 2017.  However, both the Veteran and his authorized representative have withdrawn this appeal. See Statement in Support of Claim received March 2018 and Appellate Brief received November 2018. Hence, there remains 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.
