DOCKET NO. 17-24 887
DATE: October 29, 2021

ORDER

The appeal regarding entitlement to an increased rating for bilateral hearing loss, to include the propriety of the reduction of the disability rating, has been withdrawn and is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On August 19, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received written notification from the Veteran's representative that a withdrawal of the appeal regarding the claim listed above, to include the scheduled tele-hearing, is requested.

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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  In the present case, the Veteran, through his representative, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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