DOCKET NO. 12-11 658A
DATE:	October 30, 2018
ORDER
The issue of entitlement to VA home loan guaranty benefits is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
On August 30, 2018, before the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Appellant that she wanted to withdraw the claim of entitlement to VA home loan guaranty benefits.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of the claim of entitlement to VA home loan guaranty benefits are met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2018).
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
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.  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  A withdrawal is effective when received, provided that receipt occurs prior to the issuance of a decision by the Board. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204(b)(3).  Withdrawal may be made by the veteran or by her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  
In this case, the Appellant submitted a statement in August 2018 stating that she wished to withdraw her pending appeal.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal of the claim of entitlement to VA home loan guaranty benefits, and it is dismissed.
