ORDER

The appeal for the issue of entitlement to service connection for a low back disorder is dismissed.

The appeal for the issue of entitlement to service connection for headaches is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

In an October 2021 written statement, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran's representative indicated that she wanted to withdraw the  appeal for the issues of entitlement to service connection for low back disorder and headaches.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal have been met with respect to the issues of entitlement to service connection for a low back disorder and headaches.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran had active service from April 1969 to February 1970 and from June 1973 to August 1992.  

This matter comes before the Board on appeal from a January 2018 rating decision issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO). 

Law and Analysis

Under 38 U.S.C. § 7105, the Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege specific errors of fact or law in the determination being appealed.  An appeal may be withdrawn on record at a hearing or in writing at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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 an October 2021 written statement, the Veteran's representative indicated that she wanted to withdraw her appeal for the issues of entitlement to service connection for a low back disorder and headaches.  As such, 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.
