REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS The Veteran served on active duty in the United States Air Force from September 1981 to September 1985 and the Public Health Service from February 2003 to August 2018. This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from December 2018 and December 2020 rating decisions issued by a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO). 1. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 20 percent for a lumbosacral strain is dismissed. 2. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 20 percent for a left shoulder strain is dismissed. 3. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for right hip degenerative arthritis prior to July 7, 2020 is dismissed. 4. Entitlement to a rating in excess of 50 percent from September 1, 2021 for status post total right hip replacement is dismissed. 5.

Entitlement to a compensable rating for right hip impairment prior to July 7, 2020 is dismissed. 7. Entitlement to a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss is dismissed. In a January 2021 signed written statement drafted prior to the promulgation of a decision on the appeals, the Veteran stated that he wanted to withdraw all his issues on appeal. 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. In the present case, the Veteran has withdrawn his appeals and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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 appeals and these matters are dismissed. KELLI A. KORDICH Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board T. Moore, Associate 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 This decision is not precedential and does not establish VA policies or interpretations of general applicability. 38 C.F.R. § 20.1303.
