DOCKET NO. 15-02 789
DATE: February 5, 2021

ORDER

Entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent prior to January 20, 2016, and a rating in excess of 50 percent since January 20, 2016, for chronic sinusitis, is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

In November 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran 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 from September 1994 to February 2000.  This case was most recently before the Board in January 2019, when the issue listed above was remanded for additional development.  An additional claim for service connection for asthma was also remanded, but subsequently granted in a June 2020 rating decision. 

Withdrawal of Appeal

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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

The Veteran submitted a signed statement, dated November 2020, stating that she wished to withdraw all remaining issues associated with her appeal.  The form notes that by signing and submitting this form she is asking to withdraw all remaining issue(s) contained in her most recent Statement of the Case (SOC)/Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC) and asking the regional office of jurisdiction to discontinue further development actions associated with this appeal.  The Board finds that the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
