DOCKET NO. 18-37 234
 DATE: December 23, 2021

ORDER

The Veteran's claim of entitlement to service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On November 30, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran that a withdrawal of this appeal for entitlement to service connection for IBS is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran involving the claim for service connection for IBS 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 in the Army from July 2009 to March 2017.

The Board notes that the rating decision on appeal was issued in May 2017.

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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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's representative submitted a statement in November 2021 stating that the Veteran would like to withdraw his appeal of service connection for IBS. The Veteran waived regional office consideration of any additional evidence in accordance with 38 C.F.R. § 20.1304(c). 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, and it is dismissed.
