REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS The Veteran served on active duty from June 2001 to November 2010. These matters come before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from an August 2011 rating decision. The Board notes that the issues on appeal originally included entitlement to service connection for tinnitus and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In a February 2018 rating decision, however, the RO granted service connection for these disabilities. Th decision constitutes a full award of the benefits sought on appeal with respect to these issues, and the Veteran has not disagreed with either the ratings or effective dates assigned. Thus, the issues are no longer on appeal at this time. See Grantham v. Brown, 114 F.3d 1156, 1158 (Fed. Cir. 1997). Withdrawal 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. An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative. Id. In correspondence received in March 2018, the Veteran indicated that he was satisfied with the decision and wished to withdraw his pending appeal. Hence, there are no allegations of error of fact or law for appellate consideration on these claims. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to consider the appeal in this matter, and it is dismissed. C. BOSELY Acting Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals ATTORNEY FOR THE BOARD R.
