The Board denied the Veteran's request for reentrance into a VR&E program following a determination of rehabilitation to the point of employability, as there was no evidence that his service-connected disabilities had worsened or that the occupation he previously obtained was unsuitable.
The deciding factor: The VRC found that the Veteran had overcome any vocational impairments and did not meet the criteria for an employment handicap, and the Board agreed with this assessment based on the evidence of record.
