Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for extended entitlement to VR&E benefits under Chapter 31, Title 38, United States Code, as she does not have an employment handicap and is currently employed in law school.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was found to have overcome the effects of her vocational impairment through employment and education/training, and thus does not meet the criteria for an employment handicap.
