FINDING OF FACT In an April 2018 statement, prior to the promulgation of a decision in the appeal, the Veteran withdrew all issues in this appeal. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The criteria for withdrawal of a substantive appeal have been met with respect to the issue of the propriety of the reduction in the disability evaluation assigned for hypertension with chronic kidney disease. 38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. 2. The criteria for withdrawal of a substantive appeal have been met with respect to the issue of service connection for PTSD. 38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. 3. The criteria for withdrawal of a substantive appeal have been met with respect to the issue of an increased evaluation for major depression. 38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. 4. The criteria for withdrawal of a substantive appeal have been met with respect to the issue of entitlement to TDIU. 38 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2), (d)(5); 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. REASONS AND BASES FOR FINDING AND CONCLUSIONS The Veteran had active military service from September 1972 to September 1974. 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. A substantive appeal may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the Board promulgates a decision. 38 C.F.R. § 20.202. Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his authorized representative. 38 C.F.R. § 20.204. The appellant has withdrawn all issues on appeal; hence, there remain no allegations of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration. Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review these issues and the appeal is dismissed. MICHAEL D.
