Sec. 4.3  Resolution of reasonable doubt.



    It is the defined and consistently applied policy of the Department 

of Veterans Affairs to administer the law under a broad interpretation, 

consistent, however, with the facts shown in every case. When after 

careful consideration of all procurable and assembled data, a reasonable 

doubt arises regarding the degree of disability such doubt will be 

resolved in favor of the claimant. See Sec. 3.102 of this chapter.
