The Board found that the Veteran has overcome the effects of her service-connected disabilities and does not need vocational rehabilitation benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's employment as an inventory management specialist is suitable for her abilities, aptitudes, and interests, and she has been able to advance in her career without needing additional assistance from VA.
