Citation Nr: 20005597 Decision Date: 01/23/20 Archive Date: 01/23/20 DOCKET NO. 16-30 970 DATE: January 23, 2020 ORDER The appeal is dismissed. FINDING OF FACT Prior to the promulgation of a decision by the Board, the Veteran withdrew his appeal in June 2019. CONCLUSION OF LAW The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran 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 from December 1966 to September 1970. This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from an April 2013 rating decision issued by a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO). The Board notes that the June 2016 statement of the case also included the issue of entitlement to an increased rating for tinnitus. However, the Veteran limited his appeal to the instant issue in his June 2016 substantive appeal. Accordingly, the issue of entitlement to an increased rating for tinnitus is not on appeal. The Board further notes that the Veteran had previously requested a hearing before a Veterans Law Judge, which was scheduled for June 18, 2019; however, he cancelled such hearing and withdrew his appeal the same day. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for 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. An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.205.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. Id. Prior to the promulgation of a decision by the Board, the Veteran withdrew his appeal as to the instant matter, which is the sole issue on appeal, in June 2019. 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. A. JAEGER Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board Jonathan M. Estes The Board’s decision in this case is binding only with respect to the instant matter decided. This decision is not precedential, and does not establish VA policies or interpretations of general applicability. 38 C.F.R. § 20.1303.
