ORDER

As the claim is withdrawn, the claim of entitlement to an initial compensable rating for erectile dysfunction is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On November 1, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) received notification from the Veteran that he sought to withdraw his claim of entitlement to an initial compensable rating for erectile dysfunction.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the claim of entitlement to an initial compensable rating for erectile dysfunction 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 Veteran served on active duty from July 1968 to March 1970.

This appeal comes before the Board from a September 2015 rating decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Columbia, South Carolina. 

Entitlement to an initial compensable rating for erectile dysfunction is dismissed 

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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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, in a November 1, 2021, correspondence, received prior to a decision by the Board, the Veteran explicitly withdrew the appeal of the claim listed above. The withdrawal of the appeal included the name of the Veteran, the applicable VA file number, and a statement of the issue being withdrawn. 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 of this matter and it is dismissed.
