REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS The Veteran served on active duty from July 1969 to June 1972. This case comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from rating decisions of May 2014 and September 2015 issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Chicago, Illinois. 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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. Id. The record reflects that the Veteran withdrew his appeal as to the issues presented above in April 2021. See April 2021 Correspondence. The Board briefly notes that while the Veteran's appeal originally included a claim for entitlement to service connection for a traumatic brain injury (TBI), this claim was subsequently granted by the RO in a rating decision of June 2017. See June 2014 NOD at 3; cf. June 2017 Rating Decision at 1. There remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to further review these claims, which are dismissed. JONATHAN B. KRAMER Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans' Appeals Attorney for the Board D. Blore, 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 This decision is not precedential and does not establish VA policies or interpretations of general applicability. 38 C.F.R. § 20.1303.
