INTRODUCTION

The Veteran served on active duty in the United States Army from June 10, 1980 to June 27, 1980.   

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from an August 2013 rating decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).


FINDING OF FACT

On November 1, 2017, the Board received notification from the Veteran's authorized representative that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.


CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal are met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (West 2014); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).


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.A. § 7105 (West 2014).  An appeal may be withdrawn by an appellant or by his or her authorized representative as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).   In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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.



ORDER

The appeal is dismissed.
