An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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. A written withdrawal of an appeal must include the name of the Veteran, the name of the claimant or appellant if other than the Veteran, the application VA file number, and a statement that the appeal is withdrawn. 38 C.F.R. § 20.205. If the appeal involves multiple issues, the withdrawal must specify that the appeal is withdrawn in its entirety, or list the issues withdrawn from the appeal. Id. 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. In the present case, the appellant, through his authorized representative, submitted an April 2019 statement withdrawing all 12 issues on appeal. This written withdrawal included the Veteran's full name, VA file number, and a statement expressing his desire to withdraw the appeal involving all twelve issues noted above. Thus, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. The Board does not have jurisdiction to review the issues on appeal and they are dismissed. SHEREEN M.
