DOCKET NO. 18-38 704
DATE: April 9, 2021

ORDER

The appeal as to entitlement to service connection for a skin disability is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On September 14, 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran, through his authorized representative, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant (or his or her authorized representative) 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 in the United States Air Force from February 1960 to February 1980.  This matter is before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from an April 2015 rating decision.   

In written correspondence received September 14, 2020, the Veteran, through his attorney, notified the Board that he wished to withdraw from appellate consideration the appeal as to entitlement to service connection for a skin disability.   

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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

In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
