The Veteran's application for VR&E benefits, other than employment services, to pursue an MSN was denied as she had transferrable job skills and plans to continue working in the same career field with her current education.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not demonstrate that she is unable to obtain or maintain suitable employment consistent with her interests, abilities, and aptitudes due to her service-connected disabilities.
