ORDER

Entitlement to service connection for tinnitus is dismissed.

Entitlement to service connection for bilateral hearing loss is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

Prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, in October 2021, the Veteran's representative submitted a written request to withdraw the appeals of entitlement to service connection for tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss.  

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the appeals of entitlement to service connection for tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 19.55(b). 

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his authorized representative.  Id.   

In the present case, the Veteran, through his representative, has withdrawn the appeals of entitlement to service connection for tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss by written statement submitted in October 2021.  The Veteran's representative indicated that the Veteran wishes to withdraw his pending appeals to the Board. Therefore, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration regarding the above issues.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review these issues, and they are dismissed.
