DATE: October 20, 2021

	ORDER

The appeal is dismissed. 

	FINDINGS OF FACT

1.  In February 2020, the Veteran indicated that he was satisfied with the decision rendered in his appeal and wished to withdraw all remaining issues contained in the recent statement of the case (SOC).

2.  In October 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran indicated in writing that he wanted to withdraw his appeal.

	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 FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

The Veteran served on active duty from May 1983 to April 1986.   

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a January 2019 rating decision.

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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

In February 2020, the Regional Office (RO) issued a statement of the case (SOC) pertaining to the issues of entitlement to an increased evaluation for a right ankle residual fracture and entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea, a twisted septum, bilateral hearing loss, and COPD with emphysema.  

In March 2020, the Veteran submitted an appeals satisfaction notice in which he indicated that he was satisfied with the decision rendered and wished to withdraw all remaining issues contained in the recent statement of the case.  In October 2021 correspondence, the Veteran also indicated that he wanted to withdraw his appeal.  Thus, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration concerning the issues before the Board.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review this appeal, and it is dismissed.
