DOCKET NO. 17-27 070
DATE: October 21, 2021

ORDER

The appeal regarding entitlement to an initial compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss has been withdrawn.

The appeal regarding entitlement to an initial disability evaluation in excess of 60 percent for coronary artery disease has been withdrawn.

FINDING OF FACT

On March 6, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant, through his authorized representative, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

1. The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal for entitlement to an initial compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss by the appellant through his authorized representative have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

2. The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal for entitlement to an initial disability evaluation in excess of 60 percent for coronary artery disease by the appellant through his authorized representative have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS

The Veteran served on active duty from August 1969 to April 1971.

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a January 2017 rating decision issued by a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO).  

1. Entitlement to an initial compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss

2. Entitlement to an initial disability evaluation in excess of 60 percent for coronary artery disease

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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