Service connection for temporomandibular joint disability is dismissed. Service connection for fibromyalgia is dismissed. FINDING OF FACT On March 1, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran, through her representative, notified VA of her desire to withdraw her claims for service connection for a chronic fatigue syndrome, temporomandibular joint disability, and fibromyalgia. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The criteria for withdrawal of the claim of entitlement for service connection for a chronic fatigue syndrome have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105 (b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. 2. The criteria for withdrawal of the claim of entitlement for service connection for temporomandibular joint disability have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105 (b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. 3. The criteria for withdrawal of the claim of entitlement for service connection for fibromyalgia have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105 (b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. DISMISSAL The Veteran served on active duty from June 1978 to September 1982 and from June 1985 to June 2000. This matter is on appeal from a July 2013 rating decision. The Veteran was scheduled for a Board hearing with an undersigned Veterans Law Judge in September 2019. However, she did not appear for her hearing and did not provide good cause for her absence. She was rescheduled for a new Board hearing on March 12, 2021. However, in a correspondence received on March 1, 2021, the Veteran, through her representative, expressed her desire to withdraw her pending service connection claims for chronic fatigue syndrome, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and fibromyalgia. 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.205.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 Veteran or by her authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. (Continued on the next page)   The Board finds that the Veteran’s statement requesting that her pending appeal be withdrawn, is sufficient to withdraw the Veteran’s claims. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and the claims are dismissed. Tiffany Dawson Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board N. Yeh, Associate Counsel The Board’s decision in this case is binding only with respect to the instant matter decided. This decision is not precedential and does not establish VA policies or interpretations of general applicability. 38 C.F.R. § 20.1303.
