DOCKET NO. 14-13 925
DATE: January 27, 2021

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDINGS OF FACT

1. On February 10, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

2. The Veteran’s withdrawn appeal was related to a September 2010 rating decision, regarding entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for the grant of service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder, service connection for bilateral hearing loss, service connection for rupture of the right eardrum, and service connection for tinnitus.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant are met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § § 19.55.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  In the present case, the appellant has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
