DOCKET NO. 19-19 658
DATE: March 30, 2020

ORDER

The appeal concerning the issue of entitlement to an effective date earlier than May 10, 2018, for the additional dependency benefits payable for T.M.H. is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

In August 2019, 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. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.205.

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by the authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.  In the present case, the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
