Citation Nr: 20002010 Decision Date: 01/09/20 Archive Date: 01/09/20 DOCKET NO. 19-31 397 DATE: January 9, 2020 ORDER Entitlement to service connect for hearing loss of the right ear is dismissed. FINDING OF FACT Prior to promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran indicated in a November 2019 statement that he would like to withdraw his appeal regarding entitlement to service connection for right ear hearing loss. CONCLUSION OF LAW The criteria for withdrawal of entitlement to service connect for hearing loss of the right ear by the appellant have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION The Veteran served on active duty in the United States Army from December 1968 to September 1972. This matter comes before the Board from an October 2018 rating decision. 1. Entitlement to service connect for hearing loss of the right ear 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. The Veteran perfected his appeal on his claim for service connection for right ear hearing loss in October 2019. In November 2014, he filed a statement indicating that “I wish to withdraw my appeal for S/C for hearing loss of right ear. I have been able to get my hearing aids provided at the VAMC. This was my ultimate goal. Therefore, I no longer want to pursue my appeal for S/C right ear hearing loss.” The November 2014 clearly identifies the issue that the Veteran wished to withdraw. It fully meets the all requirements set out by Rule 205. The appellant has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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. MICHAEL A. HERMAN Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board E.
