Citation Nr: 21022022 Decision Date: 04/14/21 Archive Date: 04/14/21 DOCKET NO. 14-24 596 DATE: April 14, 2021 ORDER The appeal is dismissed. FINDING OF FACT In July 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran submitted correspondence reflecting that he was satisfied with his appeal and wished to withdraw all remaining issues. CONCLUSION OF LAW The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION The Veteran served on active duty from May 1998 to May 2002. This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from a rating decision issued in December 2013 by a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office. In November 2017, the Veteran testified before the undersigned Veterans Law Judge. A transcript of the hearing is of record. In May 2018, the Board remanded the case for additional development. 1. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for right foot plantar fasciitis and spur prior to May 14, 2019 (excluding the time period from June 3, 2013, to January 1, 2014, where a temporary total evaluation has been assigned). 2. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for left foot plantar fasciitis and spur prior to May 14, 2019. 3. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 50 percent for bilateral plantar fasciitis with bilateral heal spurs as of May 14, 2019. 4. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent prior to May 14, 2019, and in excess of 40 percent thereafter for low back facet osteoarthritis. 5. Entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU). 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.205.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 appellant or by his or her authorized representative. Id. In addition, for withdrawals not made on the record at a Board hearing, such must be in writing and include the file number and a statement that the appeal is withdrawn. Hembree v. Wilkie, 33 Vet. App. 1 (2020). In a March 2020 rating decision issued in connection with a Supplemental Statement of the Case addressing the above captioned issues, the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) awarded an increased rating of 40 percent for the Veteran’s back disability and a 50 percent for his bilateral plantar fasciitis with bilateral heal spurs, effective May 14, 2019. The AOJ also awarded separate 20 percent ratings for bilateral lower extremity paresthesias of the femoral and sciatic nerves, effective February 28, 2019, and a separate noncompensable rating for intermittent urinary urge incontinence, effective May 14, 2019. In July 2020, the Veteran submitted an “Appeals Satisfaction Notice.” Such notice, which included his claims file number, was in writing, and signed by the Veteran, indicated that “by signing and submitting this form, I am asking to withdraw all remaining issue(s) contained in my recent... Supplemental Statement of the Case.” The notice further stated that, “based on the decision rendered, I am satisfied and wish to withdraw all remaining issues associated with this appeal.” In this regard, as noted previously, the most recent Supplemental Statement of the Case issued in March 2020 included the above captioned issues. Thus, given the explicit statements from the Veteran reflecting satisfaction with his appeal and the desire to withdraw all remaining issues from appeal, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. Thus, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it must be dismissed. A. JAEGER Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board K. Clark, 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.
