FINDING OF FACT Prior to the promulgation of a decision, the Veteran withdrew his appeal in a written correspondence received in January 2021.

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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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. For withdrawals not made on the record at a Board hearing, such must be in writing and include (1) the name of the appellant, (2) the applicable VA file number, and (3) a statement that the appeal is withdrawn. If the appeal involves multiple issues, the withdrawal must specify that the appeal is withdrawn in its entirety or list the issue(s) withdrawn from the appeal. Id.; Hembree v. Wilkie, 33 Vet. App. 1 (2020). In the instant case, prior to the promulgation of a decision, the Veteran withdrew his appeal, which includes the above captioned issues, in its entirety in a written correspondence received in January 2021 in which he stated "I would like to withdraw my appeal that is before your [B]oard." In this regard, such statement was in writing, authored by the Veteran, included the correct file number, and explicitly identified the issues to be withdrawn. Therefore, 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. A. JAEGER Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans' Appeals Attorney for the Board Koria B. Stanton, 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 This decision is not precedential and does not establish VA policies or interpretations of general applicability. 38 C.F.R. § 20.1303.
