DOCKET NO. 20-78 946A
DATE: May 14, 2025

ORDER

The appeal regarding service connection for bilateral Achilles tendonitis is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

On March 27, 2025, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the appellant, through his authorized representative, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant and his authorized representative have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal by way of a March 2025 written submission.  

A written withdrawal must be in writing and include (1) the name of the Veteran or the name of the claimant or appellant if other than the Veteran, (2) the applicable VA file number, and (3) a statement that the appeal is withdrawn.  If the appeal involves multiple issues, the withdrawal must specify that the appeal is withdrawn in its entirety or list the issue(s) withdrawn from the appeal.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55(b)(1).    

The March 2025 submission satisfies these requirements.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal, and it is dismissed.
