REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

The Veteran served on active duty from November 1954 to October 1956.

These matters come to the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on appeal from a June 2018 rating decision by the 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.  An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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.  Id.  In the present case, the appellant has withdrawn his appeals, via a signed statement, for supraventricular arrythmia, hypertension, and TDIU and, hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.  See January 2021 VA Form 21-4138 Statement in Support of Claim ("I would like to withdraw any and all appeals at this time.").

Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review these issues on appeal, and they are dismissed.
