The Board denied the Veteran's claim for VR&E benefits under Chapter 31, Title 38 of the United States Code, to reimburse education expenses associated with obtaining a law degree.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran did not meet the criteria for entitlement to vocational rehabilitation benefits and services under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 31 in effect during the period on appeal, as he had already obtained a Bachelor's degree and was seeking further education rather than employment services.
