Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's request to change her long-range goal from obtaining employment in public health or a related field to attending medical school, as there was no evidence that rehabilitation would be more likely if the goal were changed.
The deciding factor: The VRC determined that the Veteran had the necessary education and skills to obtain suitable employment based on her existing degrees and work experience, and there was no evidence of a change in circumstances that warranted a different vocational goal.
