The Board found that the veteran's case was properly placed in interrupted status and subsequently discontinued, and denied her claim for additional vocational rehabilitation training.
The deciding factor: VA determined that the veteran's case should be put in interrupted status due to her move out of the area, which was documented in her record. The veteran did not provide any further information regarding the status of her move or employment situation, leading VA to place her case in discontinued status.
