DOCKET NO. 18-51 587
DATE: October 18, 2021

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On September 30, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant that a withdrawal of this appeal (service connection for acid reflux, high blood pressure, headaches, erectile dysfunction; and increased ratings for diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, and retinal ischemia) is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant have been 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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 her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  In this case, the appellant withdrew the issues on appeal in a written statement submitted in September 2021; therefore, 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.
