The Board denied the appeal as the eligibility termination date for Vocational Rehabilitation benefits was determined to be proper based on the law and evidence presented.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's eligibility period for VRE services terminated on July 1, 2010 due to his receipt of a combined evaluation of 60 percent in June 1998. The Board found no legal basis for entitlement to continued benefits.
