Granted
The Veteran's VR&E program was terminated due to achieving maximum rehabilitation gain, but the Board has granted termination of discontinued status and determined that she has an employment handicap for VR&E benefits purposes.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities contribute in substantial part to vocational impairment, and she has not overcome the effects of such impairment.
