FINDING OF FACT
In December 2017, the Veteran informed the Board that he desired to withdraw his appeal.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of a Substantive Appeal by the Veteran have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (2012); 38 C.F.R. §§ 20.202, 20.204 (2018).
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
The Veteran had active service from November 2001 to February 2013.  
Withdrawal of Appeal
(Continued on the next page)
 
Entitlement to initial compensable ratings for (1) left and (2) right index finger disabilities and (3) left and (4) right long finger disabilities and entitlement to increased ratings for (5) left and (6) right thumb disabilities and (7) migraine headaches 
An appeal may be withdrawn by an appellant or his or her authorized representative as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38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.  In December 2017 statements, the Veteran withdrew the appeal.  Hence, there remains no allegation of error of fact or law for appellate consideration, and the appeal must be dismissed.
