(Continued on the next page) The Board may dismiss any appeal that fails to allege a specific error of fact or law in the determination being appealed. 38 U.S.C. § 7105. An appeal may be withdrawn by the appellant or his or her authorized representative as to any or all issues involved in the appeal. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55(a). Appeal withdrawals must include the name of the appellant, the file number, and a statement that the appeal is withdrawn. If the appeal involves multiple issues, the withdrawal must specify the issues withdrawn or specify that the appeal is withdrawn in its entirety. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55(b). In November 2020, the Veteran's authorized representative submitted two statements withdrawing all pending appeals before the Board. The statements included the Veteran's name and file number. Here, the issues on appeal are entitlement to service connection for hypertension; entitlement to an increased rating for CAD; entitlement to an increased rating for PTSD; and, entitlement to a a TDIU prior to June 18, 206. Per the November 2020 statements, these issues are withdrawn. There remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration with regard to the issues. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the claims and they are dismissed. M.
