FINDING OF FACT

On September 30, 2021, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Board received notification from the Veteran, through his authorized representative, that a withdrawal of this appeal is requested.

CONCLUSION OF LAW

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

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  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.  In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal in a written request in September 2021, and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.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 for increased disability evaluation for anxiety disorder and lumbar spine DDD, for entitlement to service connection for antisocial personality behavior disorder, and the petitions to reopen the issues of service connection for PTSD and sleep disorder secondary to PTSD, and it is dismissed.
