Entitlement to service connection for tinnitus is dismissed. Entitlement to service connection for hypertension is dismissed. Entitlement to service connection for diabetes mellitus is dismissed. Entitlement to service connection for bilateral eye disorder is dismissed. Entitlement to service connection for sleep apnea is dismissed. FINDING OF FACT In December 2020, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran’s attorney withdrew the Veteran’s claims of service connection for hearing loss, tinnitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, bilateral eye disorder, and sleep apnea. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The criteria for withdrawal of the claims for entitlement to service connection for hearing loss, tinnitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, bilateral eye disorder, and sleep apnea have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105 (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS The Veteran had active duty service from January 1967 to January 1971. Withdrawal of Claims 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 (d)(5). An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative. In a December 2020 written correspondence, the Veteran’s attorney withdrew the claims of service connection for hearing loss, tinnitus, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, bilateral eye disorder, and sleep apnea. Hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review those claims and the claims are dismissed.
