ORDER
Entitlement to nonservice-connected pension is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
Through his attorney and prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, VA received notification from the Veteran that a withdrawal of the issue of entitlement to nonservice-connected pension was requested.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of the issue of entitlement to nonservice-connected pension by the Veteran and his authorized representative, 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 Veteran served on active duty from January 1973 to February 1975. This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from a February 2014 rating. The Veteran withdrew his request for a hearing before the Board.  See September 2018 report of general information. 
Entitlement to nonservice-connected pension
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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).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, through his attorney, the Veteran withdrew the issue of entitlement to nonservice-connected pension. Hence, there remains no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review this claim and it is dismissed.
