Summary:
Umpire dismissed argument that the BOR did not comply with the requirements to provide a statement of findings. FCA held that while the Act did not require a detailed statement of findings of facts, a BOR must, when there is an issue of credibility, state at least briefly, as part of its findings, that it rejects certain evidence on the basis of credibility and why. When a BOR fails to do so it errs in law. Case returned to a new BOR.
