CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran are 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  

In the present case, the Veteran, in a November 2021 written statement, advised that he wished to withdraw his appeals as to entitlement to initial increased ratings for bilateral hearing loss and entitlement to service connection for a back disorder, a bilateral foot disorder (other than hallux valgus), and a TBI.  Hence, there remains no allegation of error of fact or law for appellate consideration.  Accordingly, the issues on appeal are dismissed.
