DOCKET NO. 15-08 900A
DATE:	June 1, 2018
ORDER
Entitlement to service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is dismissed. 
Entitlement to a disability rating in excess of 70 percent for depression with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is dismissed.  
FINDING OF FACT
In a March 2018 letter, the Veteran’s attorney requested to withdraw the Veteran’s appeals as to the issues of service connection for IBS, and entitlement to an increased rating for depression with PTSD.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal of entitlement to service connection for IBS have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105 (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).
2.  The criteria for withdrawal of the appeal of entitlement to a rating in excess of 70 percent for depression with PTSD have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105 (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).
REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The Board may dismiss any appeal that 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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).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 Veteran or by his or her authorized representative.  Id.  
In a March 2018 letter, the Veteran’s attorney requested to withdraw the Veteran’s appeal of the issues of entitlement to service connection for IBS, and entitlement to an increased rating for depression with PTSD.  Thus, there remains no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration of these issues.  The Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal of these issues, and the Veteran’s claims for entitlement to service connection for IBS and entitlement to an increased rating for depression with PTSD must therefore be dismissed.
