CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of a substantive appeal on the issues of entitlement to: (1) service connection for hypertension, to include as secondary to service-connected prostate cancer; (2) an initial compensable for service-connected erectile dysfunction; (3) an initial rating for service-connected prostate cancer in excess of 20 prior to November 3, 2015, and a rating in excess of 40 percent since; (4) and a higher rate of SMC based on loss of use of a creative organ, have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105; 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
The Veteran served on active duty from October 1965 to October 1968.
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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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. 
On September 27, 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran requested that all actions before VA be cleared, that he was happy with his recent VA decision.  The issues perfected at that time included the issues of entitlement to: (1) service connection for hypertension, to include as secondary to service-connected prostate cancer; (2) an initial compensable for service-connected erectile dysfunction; (3) an initial rating for service-connected prostate cancer in excess of 20 prior to November 3, 2015, and a rating in excess of 40 percent since; (4) and a higher rate of SMC based on loss of use of a creative organ.
Thus, 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.
