The Board denied the Veteran's claim for VR&E services, other than employment service, to include additional education in pursuit of a master's degree in public administration and/or a program of self-employment.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively establish that the Veteran needed additional education or training beyond his current level of education and work experience to secure suitable employment consistent with his abilities, aptitudes, and interests.
