FINDING OF FACT

In December 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an 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

The Veteran served on active duty from June 1979 to June 1983.

This case was previously before the Board in January 2019 and July 2021, when the issues listed above were remanded for additional development.

Withdrawal of 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

The Veteran submitted a signed statement, dated December 2021, stating that he wished to withdraw all remaining issues associated with his appeal.  The form notes that by signing and submitting this form he is asking to withdraw all remaining issues contained in his most recent Statement of the Case (SOC)/Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC) and asking the regional office of jurisdiction to discontinue further development actions associated with this appeal.  The Board finds that the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
