Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for VR&E benefits under Chapter 31 due to a lack of a serious employment handicap and the infeasibility of achieving a vocational goal given his disabilities.
The deciding factor: The VRC found that the severity of the Veteran's nonservice-connected schizophrenia made it infeasible for him to achieve a vocational goal, despite having an employment handicap from his service-connected left knee arthritis.
