DOCKET NO. 14-32 489
DATE:	December 13, 2018
ORDER
The appeal seeking entitlement to compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for nose and left and right arm injuries is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
In an August 2017 statement, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran notified the Board that he wished to withdraw the appeal for the issue of entitlement to compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for nose and left and right arm injuries.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal for entitlement to compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for nose and left and right arm injuries have been 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 had active duty service from April 1961 to April 1964.
Withdrawn Issue
Entitlement to compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for nose and left and right arm injuries is dismissed.
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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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 Veteran or by his authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  
In an August 2017 statement, the Veteran withdrew the appeal for entitlement to compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for nose and left and right arm injuries and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration in this matter.  See statement.  Notably, it was explained to the Veteran in the September 2017 letter from the Regional Office (RO) that in light of his withdrawal no further action would be taken to address his claim.  See RO letter.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
