The case must be remanded for further development in compliance with the Court's Order, including an examination by a panel of psychiatrists to determine the actual current severity of his PTSD and its impact on employment.

The veteran's claim for apportionment of compensation to his son was denied as it was not received within one year after the RO informed him of the availability of such benefits, and a 100 percent disability rating for PTSD from December 28, 1999, was granted.

The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for the award of service connection for PTSD was granted, establishing the effective date to May 24, 1991.

The Board denied an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for PTSD prior to September 4, 2008 and an initial disability rating in excess of 50 percent since September 4, 2008.

The veteran's service-connected PTSD is rated at 50 percent, but no higher, and the other claims for increased ratings and TDIU were denied.

The Board denied an initial disability evaluation in excess of 30 percent for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.

The veteran's PTSD is manifested by intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and sleep impairment resulting in some social and occupational impairment. The Board finds no basis to assess a disability rating higher than 50 percent.

The veteran's claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was denied because the evidence did not show that he is currently diagnosed with PTSD.

The appeal is remanded to the RO via the Appeals Management Center (AMC) in Washington, DC.

The appeal is remanded to obtain additional evidence, including VA treatment records and a verified in-service stressor for PTSD, as well as an examination to determine the etiology of hepatitis C.

The veteran's PTSD was rated at 70 percent effective December 13, 2005, as it met the criteria for occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas.

The appeal is remanded for further development to determine the degree of impairment due to PTSD, including an opinion on its impact on employability.

The veteran's claim for assistance in acquiring an automobile and adaptive equipment or for adaptive equipment only was denied due to the absence of a qualifying service-connected disability.

The veteran's service connection for PTSD was granted based on his combat-related stressors during Operation Enduring Iraqi Freedom.

The veteran's PTSD is not manifested by occupational and social impairment, with deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood, due to symptoms that would warrant a higher evaluation.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD due to a lack of credible supporting evidence that his claimed in-service stressor events occurred.

The appeal is remanded for further development of the evidence, including verification of in-service stressors and a VA psychiatric examination.
