Who may withdraw an administrative appeal or a participation application, in what form, by when, and to whom must the notice of withdrawal be submitted?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
For this exercise, the practice file holds the withdrawal paper itself, the record showing whether the resolution the provision cross-refers to has yet occurred in the case, and the receipt or correspondence showing where the paper was lodged and who was informed of it.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading maps the scope as written: the claimant may withdraw the appeal, and the participant may withdraw the participation application, each in writing and up until the resolution the provision cross-refers to occurs; the paper must be signed or sealed by that person, submitted to the respondent agency or the committee, and the rules on submission of papers apply to it with the necessary adjustments.
Another reading stresses what this scope stops short of: it fixes who may act, in what form, and until what event, but says nothing about what the withdrawal does to fees, to a later re-filing, or to the merits; it adds only that once such a paper is received in a pending case, the recipient must tell the other concerned agency, the claimant and the participant without delay.
Your judgment
Since that resolution closes the window for withdrawal, how could the file show whether it has yet been made?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change who may withdraw or the event that closes the window, or if a decision clarifies when the cross-referenced resolution counts as having occurred.
