DOCKET NO. 19-20 029
DATE: July 12, 2021

ORDER

The claim for service connection for a head injury, with headaches, is dismissed.

The claim for service connection for a back wound is dismissed.

The claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss is dismissed.

The claim for service connection for loss of teeth is dismissed.

FINDINGS OF FACT

On May 25, 2021, the Board received notification from the Veteran's authorized representative that the Veteran was withdrawing his appeal as to the following service connection claims: a back wound, a head injury, bilateral hearing loss, and loss of teeth.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

The criteria for the withdrawal of certain issues on appeal, by the Veteran, have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.204

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

The Veteran served on active duty from January 1968 to January 1970.  

The Veteran requested a Board hearing in his July 2019 Form 9.  However, the Board received correspondence from the Veteran in May 2021 seeking to withdraw the request for a Board hearing and to withdraw certain issues on 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  Withdrawal may be made by the Veteran or by their authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  Here, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn the appeal, as to the service connection claims for a back wound, a head injury, bilateral hearing loss, and for loss of teeth.  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, as they pertain to the previously mentioned claims, and they are dismissed.
