DOCKET NO. 17-48 110
DATE: October 25, 2021

ORDER

The appeal of entitlement to total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is dismissed. 

FINDINGS OF FACT

1. The Veteran had National Guard service from October 1998 to July 2008, with periods of active duty. 

2. In February 2020, prior to promulgation of a decision on the appeal, the Veteran expressed his intent to withdraw the claim of entitlement to TDIU.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the claim for TDIU have been met. 38 U.S.C. §§ 7105(d)(5) (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2021). 

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

In February 2020, the Veteran expressed intent to withdraw the claim of entitlement to TDIU. No further correspondence was received from him on this issue. Based on the above, he expressed his intent to withdraw the claim in February 2020. As such, the claim is dismissed, and no further adjudicative action will be taken.

Finally, the Veteran has not raised any other issues, nor have any other issues been reasonably raised by the record, for the Board's consideration. See Doucette v. Shulkin, 28. Vet. App. 366, 369-370 (confirming that the Board is not required to address issues unless they are specifically raised by the claimant or reasonably raised by the evidence of record).
