REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS

The Veteran had active service in the United States Navy from September 2005 to March 2017.  These matters are on appeal from a June 2021 rating decision.

1. Entitlement to a compensable evaluation for hidradenitis suppurativa.  

2. Entitlement to an evaluation greater than 20 percent for pigmentary retinal dystrophy.

3. Entitlement to service connection for carpal tunnel syndrome of the left hand.

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.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 his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.  

In June 2021, the Board received a VA Form 10182, which elected the hearing option for Board review of the June 2021 rating decision.  Subsequently, in July 2021, the Veteran withdrew her appeal.  In September 2021, the Veteran submitted another VA Form 10182 requesting the evidence option for Board review of the June 2021 rating decision.  Based upon the forgoing, the Board finds that the Veteran has withdrawn her June 2021 VA Form 10182 which elected the hearing option.  The Board notes that this decision does not affect the Veteran's September 2021 VA Form 10182, which selected the evidence option for Board review of the June 2021 rating decision.
