DATE: July 10, 2021

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

In October 2019, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran, through her authorized representative, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran (or his or her authorized representative) have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

Rating in excess of 70 percent for the service-connected bipolar disorder

Total disability rating for individual unemployability due to service-connected disability (TDIU)

In October 2019, the Veteran submitted a written statement, through her authorized representative, in which she (the Veteran) reported that she wanted to withdraw her appeal for the above listed claims.  

The Board of Veterans' Appeals (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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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 Veteran or by his or her authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. 

In the present case, the Veteran, through her authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal.  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.
