DOCKET NO. 14-42 175
DATE: January 21, 2021

ORDER

Entitlement to service connection for tinnitus has been withdrawn and is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On January 11, 2021, 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. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran served on active duty in the United States Navy from July 1973 to June 1979. 

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from a July 2012 rating decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO).

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  Withdrawal may be made by the Veteran or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  

On January 11, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran requested a withdrawal of his claim for entitlement to service connection for tinnitus.

The Board concludes that the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
