REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS The Veteran had active service from October 1973 to July 1980 and from July 1981 to November 1995. Withdrawn Appeals The Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed. 38 U.S.C. § 7105 (2012). An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. In January 2021, the Veteran informed VA of his intention to withdraw the appeal with respect to all of the issues currently on appeal. In this regard, in response to the December 2020 SSOC which addressed all of the issues currently on appeal, the Veteran submitted an “appeals satisfaction notice” which stated that by signing and submitting the form, he was asking to withdraw all remaining issues contained in the most recent SSOC, which in this case was the December 2020 SSOC. As the Veteran has withdrawn the appeal, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the issues on appeal, and they are dismissed. V. Chiappetta Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board Donna D.
