Entitlement to service connection for a left knee condition is dismissed. Entitlement to service connection for a sciatic nerve condition, secondary to a back condition is dismissed. FINDING OF FACT During the May 2018 Board hearing, the Veteran indicated that he wished to withdraw his service connection claims for a left knee, low back, and sciatic nerve conditions. CONCLUSION OF LAW The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal on the issues of entitlement to service connection for a left knee, low back, and sciatic nerve are 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 served on active duty with the U.S. Army from September 1974 to September 1977. The Veteran testified before the undersigned Veterans Law Judge at a Travel Board hearing in May 2018; a transcript of the hearing is associated with the claims file. Withdrawal 1. Entitlement to service connection for a back condition. 2. Entitlement to service connection for a left knee condition. 3. Entitlement to service connection for a sciatic nerve condition, secondary to a lower back condition. Under 38 U.S.C. § 7105, the Board may dismiss any appeal which fails to allege specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed. A substantive appeal may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.202. Withdrawal may be made by the Veteran or by his or her authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. During the May 2018 Travel Board hearing, the Veteran indicated that he wished to withdraw his service connection claims for a left knee, low back, and sciatic nerve disability. The withdrawal is documented in the hearing transcript and correspondence submitted by the Veteran in May 2018. Hence, there remains no allegation of error of fact or law for appellate consideration as to these claims.
