FINDINGS OF FACT

On December 30, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant, through his authorized representative, that a withdrawal of the appeal is requested.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal by the appellant, through his authorized representative have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.205.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

The Veteran served on active duty from April 1991 to August 1994 and from August 2003 to September 2013 and is the recipient of the Combat Infantryman Badge. He served in Iraq and Somalia.

These matters are before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal of a January 2016 rating decision of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO). These issues were remanded by the Board in September 2019.

An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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 authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. In correspondence received December 30, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran, through his representative, informed the Board that he wished to withdraw these appeals. Hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration and these issues are dismissed.
