DOCKET NO. 15-06 656
DATE:	December 4, 2018
ORDER
The appeal seeking service connection for a low back disability, to include groin and right leg pain, is dismissed.
The appeal seeking a compensable rating for scarlet fever is dismissed.
The appeal seeking an increased disability rating for peripheral neuropathy, right lower extremity, is dismissed.
The appeal seeking an increased rating percent for peripheral neuropathy, left lower extremity, is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT
In April 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in this appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran requesting that the appeal of the above-referenced issues be withdrawn.



CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of appeals by the Veteran have been met.  38 U.S.C. §§ 7105(b)(2), (d)(5) (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
The Veteran served on active duty from December 1965 to November 1967.
This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from rating decisions dated September 2012 and October 2012 of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO) in Montgomery, Alabama.
In perfecting the appeals, the Veteran requested a Board video-conference hearing, and the hearing was scheduled in April 2018.  However, on the day the hearing was to be held, the Veteran withdrew his appeal.
Withdrawal of Appeal
The Board may dismiss any appeal which 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  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 Veteran indicated in a signed writing on a form dated April 12, 2018 and bearing the name of the organization that represents him in this matter, that all of his pending appeals before VA be withdrawn.  See Correspondence dated April 12, 2018.  Therefore, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration on the remaining issues of service connection for a low back disability, increased rating for scarlet fever, and increased ratings for peripheral neuropathy of the right and left lower extremities.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeals and they are dismissed.
