The Board denied the Veteran's request for reentrance into a VR&E program, finding that her service-connected disability had not worsened to the extent that it prevented her from performing work duties or that the occupation she was previously found rehabilitated in was unsuitable.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's service-connected disability had worsened or that the occupation for which she was previously found rehabilitated was unsuitable based on her specific employment handicap and capabilities.
