DOCKET NO. 18-23 776
DATE: May 12, 2021

ORDER

Entitlement to a rating higher than 20 percent for Hepatitis C is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

In March 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran that he wished to withdraw his pending claim before the Board because he was satisfied with a recent rating decision which granted an increased disability rating for his Hepatitis C, effective January 18, 2021.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal seeking entitlement to an increased disability rating for Hepatitis C have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.205.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

Withdrawal

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.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 Veteran or by his or her authorized representative.  Id.  

In the present case, the Veteran submitted written notification to the VA in March 2021 requesting a withdrawal of all remaining issues on appeal.  See Appeals Satisfaction Notice, March 2021.  Hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  

Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
