REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS The Veteran, who is the appellant in this case, served on active duty from November 1987 to December 1991, including service in Southwest Asia. This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a September 2014 rating decision of a Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) Regional Office. In her appeal to the Board dated September 2016, the Veteran requested a Board video-conference hearing. In January 2019, the Board notified the Veteran that a hearing was scheduled for February 2019; however, she requested that the hearing be rescheduled. In March 2021, the Board notified the Veteran that a hearing was scheduled for June 2021. In April 2021, the Veteran's representative notified the Board that the Veteran "withdraws request for BVA hearing and withdraws all issues on appeal." See Statement in Support of Claim (VA Form 21-4138) signed by M.H. and received April 30, 2021. Therefore, the hearing request is deemed withdrawn. 38 C.F.R. § 20.704(e) (2020). Dismissal of Appeal Pursuant to Veteran's Request The Board may dismiss any appeal that 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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55(a). Withdrawal may be made by the Veteran or his or her authorized representative. Id. An appeal withdrawal is effective when received by the Board. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55(b)(3). In the present case, the Veteran's representative notified the Board by written correspondence in April 2021 that the Veteran "withdraws all issues on appeal," clearly indicating that the Veteran is withdrawing the appeal in its entirety. See Statement in Support of Claim signed by M.H. and received April 30, 2021. The representative's correspondence set forth on the VA Form 21-4138 identifies the Veteran by name and VA file number. Id. Applying the relevant VA regulation, the Board finds the Veteran properly withdrew all of her claims on appeal. Thus, 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. Yaffe Acting Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans' Appeals Attorney for the Board B. Farrell, 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.
