Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for retroactive payment under Chapter 31, Title 38 of the United States Code, for education expenses incurred while pursuing his Associate's degree in Diesel Technology.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet the criteria for an employment handicap and his service-connected disabilities did not substantially contribute to his vocational impairment during the period on appeal.
