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.
