DOCKET NO. 19-07 614
DATE: March 25, 2022

ORDER

The appeal for service connection for residuals of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On February 24, 2022 prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran requested to withdraw from appeal service connection for TBI residuals.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal for service connection for TBI residuals are 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 April 2001 to May 2011 in the United States Air Force.

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a September 2018 rating decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office.

In February 2022, the Veteran withdrew his request for a hearing before the Board.

Dismissal

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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.  

In the present case, the appellant has withdrawn from appeal service connection for TBI residuals and hence there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  See February 24, 2022 written correspondence.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
