DOCKET NO. 17-63 772
DATE: December 9, 2021

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On October 6, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran, through his authorized representative, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran's authorized representative have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran had active service from September 1965 to July 1967.  

This appeal comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) from rating decisions of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO).

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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  In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal, which includes claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, hypertension, deteriorating bone in the neck, kidney disease, right knee arthritis, and gout of the feet; claims for increased ratings for the spine and diabetes mellitus with erectile dysfunction; and claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for diabetes mellitus.  Since the Veteran has withdrawn his claims through his authorized representative, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
