Citation Nr: 21024429 Decision Date: 04/22/21 Archive Date: 04/22/21 DOCKET NO. 07-07 214A DATE: April 22, 2021 ORDER The appeal seeking service connection for bilateral hearing loss is dismissed. FINDING OF FACT In April 2021 written correspondence, prior to the promulgation of a Board decision, the Veteran stated that he wished to withdraw his appeal seeking service connection for bilateral hearing loss. CONCLUSION OF LAW The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal seeking service connection for bilateral hearing loss are 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 from October 2001 to June 2002 and from January 2003 to July 2003. This matter is before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from a November 2005 rating decision by the Denver, Colorado, Regional Office (RO) and a May 2008 rating decision by the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, RO. A hearing was scheduled to be held before a Veterans Law Judge in April 2021; however, in April 2021 the Veteran submitted a letter to withdraw his appeal and his hearing request. 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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, in April 2021, VA received a written statement from the Veteran indicating that he wished to withdraw his appeal seeking service connection for bilateral hearing loss. As the Veteran has knowingly and voluntarily withdrawn the appeal of this issue in accordance with 38 C.F.R. § 19.55, there remains no allegation of error of fact or law for the Board to address. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal of this issue and it is dismissed. JOHN Z. JONES Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board A. Hemphill 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 This decision is not precedential and does not establish VA policies or interpretations of general applicability. 38 C.F.R. § 20.1303.
