The Board denied the Veteran's claim for VR&E benefits, other than employment services, under Chapter 31 of Title 38, United States Code, as he was found not to have an employment handicap despite having service-connected disabilities rated at 100 percent.
The deciding factor: The VRC determined that the Veteran had overcome any impairment of employability caused by his service-connected disabilities and was suitably employed in a job consistent with his abilities, aptitudes, and interests.
