DOCKET NO. 241022-484846
DATE: April 16, 2025

ORDER

The appeal seeking entitlement to service connection for a left hip disability (claimed as left hip dysplasia), to include as secondary to service-connected disabilities, is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On November 7, 2024, 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. § 20.205.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran served on active duty in the United States Navy from August 2002 to November 2005.  

This matter is before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal of a September 2024 rating decision from a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO).

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.  Withdrawal may be made by the Veteran or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.  

As previously stated, in a November 2024 statement, the Veteran notified the Board that he would like to withdraw his appeal request with docket number "D 241022-484846," which identifies the present appeal.  The Board finds the written withdrawal to be valid and sufficient to meet the requirements of 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. 

In the present case, the Veteran has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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