ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On December 15, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant, through the authorized representative, that a withdrawal of the appeal concerning the issues of entitlement to higher ratings and earlier effective dates for service connection for chronic renal failure, hypertension, and surgical scars was requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant or authorized representative have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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 the authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  In the present case, the appellant, through the authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal concerning the issues of entitlement to higher ratings and earlier effective dates for service connection for chronic renal failure, hypertension, and surgical scars.  Therefore, 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.
