Citation Nr: 21021964 Decision Date: 04/14/21 Archive Date: 04/14/21 DOCKET NO. 19-01 381 DATE: April 14, 2021 ORDER Service connection for bilateral hearing loss is dismissed. Service connection for tinnitus is dismissed. FINDING OF FACT Prior to promulgation of a decision by the Board, the Veteran withdrew his pending appeals for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The criteria for dismissal of the appeal for service connection for bilateral hearing loss have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. 2. The criteria for dismissal of the appeal for service connection for tinnitus have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS The Veteran served on active duty in the United States Air Force from Oct 1962 to July 1967. This matter comes to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from an August 2017 rating decision issued by a VA Regional Office (RO). Dismissal of 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. An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.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. Id. In correspondence received by VA in April 2020, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, withdrew his pending appeals. The Veteran’s representative specifically stated: I have spoken with this veteran and I am submitting this document per his request. The veteran has instructed POA to Withdraw his Appeal and to Withdraw his request for BVA hearing for the following issues on Appeal: 1. Service Connection for bilateral hearing Loss. 2. Service Connection for tinnitus The Board finds that the Veteran’s April 2020 correspondence is explicit and unambiguous; and clearly evinces the Veteran’s desire to withdraw his appeals for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. As the appeal of these issues has been withdrawn, there remains no allegation of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review these matters and they are dismissed. 38 U.S.C. § 7105(d); 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. There are no other pending claims for the Board’s review. Shereen M. Marcus Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board P. Childers, 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.
