DOCKET NO. 18-51 489

ORDER

Entitlement to special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

In November 2021, the Veteran's representative submitted a signed statement requesting to withdraw the Veteran's claim for entitlement to a special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for dismissal of the claim for entitlement to a special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.205.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran served on active duty from March 1971 to December 1974.

This matter comes before the Board on appeal from a June 2018 rating decision that denied the Veteran's claim of entitlement to special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance.

Entitlement to a special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by their authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.

In November 2021, the Veteran's representative submitted a signed statement requesting to withdraw the Veteran's claim for entitlement to a special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance.  Accordingly, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration regarding the issue.  The Board does not have jurisdiction to review the issue, and dismissal is warranted.
