DOCKET NO. 18-24 610
DATE: May 21, 2021

ORDER

The appeal for increased compensation for dependents is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On April 28, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant, through her authorized representative, 

that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant or her authorized representative are met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  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In the present case, the appellant, through her authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  The statement received on April 28, 2021 include the name and file number of the Veteran and referenced the perfected dependent issue.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55(b).  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
