Dismissed
The appeal for an initial rating for bipolar disorder type 1 mixed with psychotic features in excess of 50 percent was dismissed due to the Veteran's withdrawal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran withdrew her appeal for a higher initial rating for bipolar disorder, and thus the Board has no jurisdiction to review this issue.
