REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS The Veteran had active service from July 1970 to April 1972. These matters come to the Board on appeal from an April 2018 rating decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO). 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 (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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his or her authorized representative. Id. In an October 2019 written statement, the Veteran withdrew all claims currently on appeal. Thus, the Board finds that no allegations of errors of fact or law remain for appellate consideration regarding these issues, and the Board does not have jurisdiction to review them. The appeal is dismissed. S. B. MAYS Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board R. Casadei, Counsel The Board’s decision in this case is binding only with respect to the instant matter decided.
