William G. Abell appeals the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims' decision affirming the Board of Veterans' Appeals' severance of Mr. Abell's award of service connection for back and right hip disabilities. Mr. Abell's arguments on appeal challenge only the Board's factual determinations and application of law to the facts. Because we do not have jurisdiction to review such challenges, we dismiss. 38 U.S.C. § 7292(d) (2012); see Prinkey v. Shinseki, 735 F.3d 1375, 1382-83 (Fed. Cir. 2013).
