The Board denied the Veteran's claim for VR&E benefits as he was found not to have an employment handicap despite his service-connected disabilities and extensive education and work experience.
The deciding factor: The VRC concluded that the Veteran had overcome his vocational impairment due to his high level of education, significant prior work experience, and transferrable skills, making him capable of obtaining suitable employment in various fields.
