Summary:
In view of the greater credibility generally granted the statements of a beneficiary previous to an unfavourable decision, as compared to those subsequently made within the context of an appeal, I believe I am justified in intervening here to rescind the Board's decision.

Summary:
The Board was mistaken in setting aside a questionnaire saying that it had not been completed by the insured herself. The information written down by a CEIC agent, within the context of an investigation concerning an application, is quite probative unless serious evidence to the contrary.
