DOCKET NO. 19-32 695
DATE: December 15, 2021

ORDER

Entitlement to a higher rating for the service-connected sacroiliac strain is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

The Appellant, through his representative, withdrew the appeal for a higher rating for the service-connected sacroiliac strain.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal for a higher rating for the service-connected sacroiliac strain 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 May 1991 to August 1991 and from December 2000 to March 2002. This matter is before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from an August 2018 rating decision. 

The Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed. See 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. See 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative. See id. 

In the present case, the Veteran, through his representative, withdrew the appeal for a higher rating for the service-connected sacroiliac strain in October 2021. Because there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
