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 An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 19.55.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 In the present case, the Veteran, through his authorized representative, has withdrawn this appeal in its entirety. Specifically, in a July 2019 correspondence, the Veteran's representative submitted a correspondence which states "The Veteran requests for all appealed disability compensation claims be withdrawn." The Veteran's representative submitted a September 2021 correspondence which states "The Veteran submitted an appeals satisfaction notice dated (July 20, 2019) and communicated that he wished for all remaining appealed contentions to be withdrawn." 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 and it is dismissed in its entirety. J.
