The Veteran's PTSD is currently rated at 50 percent, and the Board has remanded for further evaluation of his claim.

The Veteran's appeal for an increased rating for PTSD prior to July 23, 2018, and in excess of 70 percent thereafter is dismissed.,Service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome is granted.,An earlier effective date for a 40% disability rating for fibromyalgia is sought.

The Board has determined that an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for PTSD is not warranted, and the case is remanded for further development.

The Veteran's service-connected PTSD did not prevent him from securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment prior to March 8, 2016. The Board denied the claim for an effective date prior to March 8, 2016.

The Veteran requested to withdraw his appeal for an increased rating of posttraumatic stress disorder. As a result, the Board dismissed the appeal.

The Veteran's PTSD prior to May 9, 2017 was productive of occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform.

The Veteran's service-connected PTSD and associated symptoms have not prevented him from obtaining and maintaining gainful employment, thus denying his claim for a TDIU.

The Veteran's appeals for increased PTSD rating, service connection for sleep apnea, and TDIU have been dismissed due to the death of the Veteran. The Board has no jurisdiction to adjudicate these claims as they are now moot.

The Veteran's claim for a TDIU based solely on his service-connected PTSD was denied as the evidence does not support that he is unemployable due to PTSD alone.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD due to inadequate development regarding the exact date of an in-service stressor.

The Veteran's PTSD has not been manifested by total social and occupational impairment, so his request for an increased rating in excess of 70 percent is denied.

The Veteran's PTSD symptoms have resulted in total occupational and social impairment, warranting a 100 percent rating for the entire period on appeal.

The Veteran's current diagnosis of PTSD is related to his reported in-service stressors, and the Board has granted service connection for PTSD.

The Veteran's claims for service connection have been reopened, but the Board has determined that additional examinations and development are needed to determine the nature and etiology of his claimed conditions.

Your claim for service connection for a psychiatric disorder, including PTSD and adjustment disorder with depressed mood, has been resolved as your condition was already granted. The Board is dismissing the appeal because the issue of service connection is moot due to the grant of benefits.

The Veteran's initial and compensable ratings for TBI are being remanded due to the need for clarification of residuals not already accounted for by separate ratings.

The Veteran's PTSD with bipolar disorder and cannabis use disorder is granted a 70 percent rating, but no higher, prior to May 11, 2019. A TDIU is denied.

The Veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection are remanded due to the need for additional VA examinations and consideration of recent treatment records.

The Veteran's claim for a higher rating for his service-connected PTSD was denied because he failed to report for a necessary VA examination without good cause.

The Veteran's PTSD with adjustment disorder has been rated at 70 percent disabling, but the Board finds that his symptoms do not warrant a higher rating as they do not meet the criteria for total occupational and social impairment.
