The Veteran served on active duty from June 1980 to October 1980.
The Board notes that although the Veteran previously requested a videoconference Board hearing, based on her withdrawal of her pending appeals, the Board finds that the request for a videoconference Board hearing has been withdrawn.
An appeal may be withdrawn as to any or all issues involved in the appeal at any time before the Board promulgates a decision.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204.  Withdrawal may be made by the appellant or by his authorized representative.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (c) (2017); see also DeLisio v. Shinseki, 25 Vet. App. 45, 57 (2011).   Except for appeals withdrawn on the record at a hearing, appeal withdrawals must be in writing and meet certain requirements set forth by regulation.  They must include the name of the appellant, the applicable file number, and a statement that the appeal is being withdrawn.   38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (b) (1) (2017).
In an August 2018 correspondence, the Veteran, through her representative, withdrew her appeal for the claims pending before the Board.  This includes the Veteran’s claims for entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 20 percent for service-connected lumbosacral, entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for service-connected left hip trochanteric bursitis with limited and painful abduction prior to May 19, 2017, entitlement to an initial compensable rating for left hip trochanteric bursitis with limited and painful abduction from May 19, 2017, entitlement to an initial compensable rating for left hip trochanteric bursitis with limited flexion, entitlement to service connection for a left calf condition, and entitlement to service connection for a left thigh muscle condition.
The withdrawal was effective immediately upon receipt by VA.  38 C.F.R. § 20.204 (b)(3) (2017).  Given the above circumstances, the Board finds that the Veteran’s withdrawal is explicit, unambiguous, and done with a full understanding of the consequences of such action.  See DeLisio v. Shinseki, 25 Vet. App. 45, 57 (2011).  Thus, the Board finds that the Veteran has withdrawn his appeal and there remains no allegation of errors of fact or law for appellate consideration.
Accordingly, the Board does not have jurisdiction to review the appeal and the claim is dismissed.
