DOCKET NO. 13-15 273
DATE:	December 20, 2018
ORDER
The claim of entitlement to a rating in excess of 30 percent prior to July 22, 2015 and in excess of 50 percent therefrom for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
In an August 2018 written statement, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran requested a withdrawal of the issue of entitlement to an increased evaluation for PTSD.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal on the issue of entitlement a rating in excess of 30 percent prior to July 22, 2015 and in excess of 50 percent therefrom for PTSD are met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION
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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.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 an August 2018 written statement, the Veteran indicated that he sought to withdraw the claim of entitlement to an increased evaluation for PTSD.  See VA Form 21-4138 (August 2018).  Hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration with regard to this claim.
Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal, and it is dismissed.
