Denied
The Veteran's VR&E benefits were discontinued due to his failure to maintain satisfactory conduct and cooperation, as well as his inability to keep up with coursework. The AOJ made reasonable efforts to assist the Veteran but found no mitigating circumstances.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to cooperate with VA staff in carrying out the initial evaluation and developing a rehabilitation plan, resulting in unsatisfactory conduct and cooperation.
