## § 4.3 — Resolution of reasonable doubt {#4.3}

*38 C.F.R. § 4.3*

Official source: <https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-38/chapter-I/part-4/section-4.3>

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 § 3.102 of this chapter.
