DOCKET NO. 15-22 175
DATE:	November 26, 2018
ORDER
Entitlement to a compensable rating for erectile dysfunction is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
In an October 2018 statement, the Veteran indicated that he wished to withdraw his increase rating claim.  
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal on the issue of entitlement to a compensable rating for erectile dysfunction are met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. 
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
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  A substantive appeal may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.202.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. 
In an October 2018 statement, the Veteran indicated that he wished to withdraw his increase rating claim.  The statement of withdrawal has been associated with the claims file.  Hence, there remains no allegation of error of fact or law for appellate consideration in regard to this claim. 
Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal of entitlement to an increased rating for erectile dysfunction.
