DOCKET NO. 14-18 607
DATE:	December 10, 2018
ORDER
Entitlement to an initial disability rating for Prinzmetal’s angina in excess of 10 percent, and increased disability ratings for Prinzmetal’s angina in excess of 30 percent from December 1, 2011 and in excess of 60 percent from January 18, 2012 is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
In November 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran submitted a statement which documents his satisfaction with an October 2018 rating decision that granted entitlement to a TDIU rating effective June 29, 2013; therein, he also requested to withdraw his appeal regarding his claim regarding the initial/increased disability ratings assigned for his service-connected heart condition, Prinzmetal’s angina.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of the Veteran’s appeal 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 had active service from November 1969 to April 1971 and from November 1990 to May 1991.
During the pendency of the appeal, the Veterans claim of entitlement to a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) was granted within an October 2018 rating decision, effective June 29, 2013.  As such, this claim is no longer before the Board.  
Entitlement to an initial disability rating in excess of 10 percent for Prinzmetal's angina, and increased disability ratings in excess of 30 percent from December 1, 2011 and in excess of 60 percent from January 18, 2012.
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 (2012).  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  Id.
In November 2018, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran submitted a statement which documents his satisfaction with an October 2018 rating decision that granted entitlement to a TDIU rating effective June 29, 2013; therein, he also requested to withdraw his appeal regarding his claim regarding the initial/increased disability ratings assigned for his service-connected heart condition, Prinzmetal’s angina.
Given the Veteran’s request, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration with respect to his claim of entitlement to an initial disability rating for Prinzmetal’s angina in excess of 10 percent, and increased disability ratings for Prinzmetal’s angina in excess of 30 percent from December 1, 2011 and in excess of 60 percent from January 18, 2012.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal, and it is dismissed.
