The Board denied the Veteran's claim for VR&E services under Chapter 31, Title 38, United States Code, as he was not found to have an employment handicap.
The deciding factor: The VRC determined that the Veteran did not have a vocational impairment or an employment handicap due to his service-connected disabilities, which were deemed insufficient to impair his ability to prepare for, obtain, or retain employment consistent with his abilities, aptitudes, and interests.
