The Board denied the Veteran's request for additional VR&E benefits, including a change in his long-range goal to obtain a paralegal certification.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's circumstances had changed such that rehabilitation would be more likely if the long-range goal were changed to include obtaining a paralegal certification.
