DOCKET NO. 08-09 775

ORDER
Entitlement to service connection for a skin disorder is dismissed.
FINDING OF FACT
Prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran withdrew his claim of entitlement to service connection for a skin disorder.
CONCLUSION OF LAW
The criteria for the withdrawal of the appeal for entitlement to service connection for a skin disorder have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105 (2012); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (2017).
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.  A substantive appeal may be withdrawn by a veteran or his or her authorized representative in writing or at a hearing at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.
In an October 2017 statement from the Veteran’s representative, the representative withdrew the Veteran’s only pending claim, which was his appeal for the claim of entitlement to service connection for a skin disorder.  Thus, as there remains no allegation of error of fact or law for the Board to address with respect to this issue, the Board does not have jurisdiction over this appeal, and it must be dismissed.
