DOCKET NO. 20-04 259A
DATE: December 1, 2021

ORDER

The appeal to establish entitlement to service connection for valvular heart disease is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On December 29, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in this appeal, the Veteran withdrew this appeal for service connection for valvular heart disease.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria are met for withdrawal of this appeal. 38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. 

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Board may dismiss any appeal that 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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 by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. 

In this case at hand, the appellant has withdrawn this appeal in a December 2020 written statement, and he reiterated this in an October 2021 phone call with VA that has been memorialized on a Report of General Information (VA Form 27-0820). He also resultantly withdrew his request for a hearing. Hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review this appeal and it is summarily dismissed.
