DOCKET NO. 14-12 188
DATE: May 18, 2021

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On April 19, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

In March 2021, the Board granted separate ratings for the Veteran's right knee meniscal impairment and instability and remanded the remaining claims for increased ratings for the right knee and psychiatric disability along with a claim for total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU).  March 2021 rating decisions granted higher ratings for the Veteran's psychiatric disability, granted TDIU, and effectuated the Board's grant of separate ratings for the Veteran's right knee meniscal impairment and instability.  In April 2021, the Veteran submitted a statement that he had received recent correspondence regarding the decision to grant one or more issues on appeal and that based on the decision he was satisfied and wished to withdraw all remaining issues associated with the 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  In the present case, the appellant has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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 appeal and it is dismissed.
