Does anyone know when an RO issues a SOC or the BVA issues a decision they have to include positive evidence to show the balance was not in favor of the Veteran. Every SOC from my RO and my BVA decision mostly only talked about the negative evidence versus my pile of positive evidence. I wasn't sure if they just have to give you the evidence for denial or have to weigh it out in the SOC or decision. It would seem to me under the law for reasonable doubt and weight of evidence they should include both sides of the story and tell you how their side outweighed yours no?

Hi Everyone,

I wasn't sure if they just have to give you the evidence for denial or have to weigh it out in the SOC or decision.
