CONCLUSION OF LAW

The criteria for withdrawal of an appeal by the Veteran have been met. 38 U.S.C. § 7105 (West 2014); 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. 

REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSION

The Board may dismiss any claim that fails to allege a specific error of fact or law in the decision being appealed. 38 U.S.C. § 7105. An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all of the issues on appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55. Withdrawal may be made by the veteran or by his or her authorized representative. Id.  

In September 2020 the Veteran withdrew this appeal in a written statement. 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.
