REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS The Veteran served on active duty from May 2001 to February 2012. This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from an August 2012 rating decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO). Withdrawal of appeals The Board may dismiss any appeal that fails to allege specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed. 38 U.S.C. § 7105. A substantive appeal may be withdrawn on record at a hearing or in writing at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.202. Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. In a November 2016 rating decision, the Veteran was awarded a total disability rating based on individual unemployability. In subsequent correspondences received in January 2017 and September 2018, the Veteran indicated through his attorney that he wished to withdraw his remaining appeals. As such, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration in this claim. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeals, and the claims are dismissed. K.
