DOCKET NO. 17-28 668A
DATE: May 27, 2021

ORDER

The appeal of entitlement to payment or reimbursement for the cost of medical services received at Lake Regional Health System from January 20, 2017 to January 23, 2017 is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

In March 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran requested to withdraw the issue on appeal.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

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

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

Withdrawal

Under 38 U.S.C. § 7105, the Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed.  A Substantive Appeal may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55, 20.202, 20.204.  Withdrawal may be made by the Veteran or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

The Veteran submitted written notification to VA in March 2021 and April 2021, requesting a withdrawal of the issue on appeal, entitlement to payment or reimbursement for the cost of medical services received at Lake Regional Health System in 2017.  See Correspondence dated March 18, 2021.  Hence, there remains no allegations of error of fact or law for appellate consideration.

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