DOCKET NO. 15-37 885
DATE:	November 5, 2018
ORDER
The appeal on the issue of entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 10 percent prior to January 25, 2017 and in excess of 20 percent thereafter for cervical spine C5-6 disc disease and osteoarthritis with intervertebral disc syndrome is dismissed.   
FINDING OF FACT
Prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the appellant, in April 2017 correspondence, a June 2017 VA Form 21-4138, and an October 2018 VA Form 21-4138, requested a withdrawal of this appeal.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105 (b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
The Veteran had active military service from October 1986 to May 1995.   
This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) from a May 2014 rating decision of the Appeals Management Center in Washington D.C.  During the rating period on appeal, a March 2017 rating decision granted an increased evaluation of 20 percent effective from January 25, 2017 with separate ratings for left and right upper extremity radiculopathy. 
An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.   In the present case, the appellant has withdrawn this appeal, and hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fat or law for appellate consideration.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
