ORDER

The claim for entitlement to an evaluation in excess of 30 percent for histoplasmosis is dismissed.

FINDING OF FACT

In a written correspondence from the Veteran dated in June 13, 2019, the Veteran withdrew his appeal of the issue of entitlement to an evaluation in excess of 30 percent for histoplasmosis.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of the claim of entitlement to an evaluation in excess of 30 percent for histoplasmosis by the Veteran have been met.  38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.205.

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Veteran served on active duty from June 1969 to March 1973.  

This matter comes before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) on appeal from an August 2018 rating decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO).  

The claim for entitlement to an evaluation in excess of 30 percent for histoplasmosis

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.  

Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.205.  In the present case, the Veteran, through written correspondence dated June 13, 2019, has withdrawn this appeal and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and it is dismissed.
