THE ISSUE

Entitlement to an evaluation in excess of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with panic disorder.



REPRESENTATION

Appellant represented by:	Disabled American Veterans



ATTORNEY FOR THE BOARD

J. Saikh, Associate Counsel



INTRODUCTION

The Veteran served on active duty from June 2008 to June 2012.

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a May 2015 rating decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Montgomery, Alabama.  Jurisdiction of the case was subsequently transferred to the Denver, Colorado RO. 


FINDING OF FACT

In October 2017, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran indicated that he wanted to withdraw his appeal. 


CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (2012); 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. § 7105 (2012).  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  

In the present case, the Veteran withdrew the appeal in an October 2017 statement.  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.
