DOCKET NO. 19-31 383
DATE: August 25, 2023

ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On January 19, 2021, prior to the issuance of a final decision, the Board received notification from the Veteran, through his authorized representative, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran had active service from July 1988 to April 1993.

This matter comes to the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a July 2018 rating decision issued by a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO).

As shown on the title page of this decision, the Veteran, through his representative, filed a written request to withdraw his appeal as to the issue of entitlement to an earlier effective date for a 100 percent rating for posttraumatic stress disorder.  

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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board issues a final decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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

In the present case, the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.
