Your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-024853
Thank you for your request of 4 May 2023, via FYI asking for the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
1/ What gives the authority for such a Individual to access someone's personal information in
Claimants file?
2/ Doesn't make sense how a Official information act request should require a Claimants
information on file to make a decision for such a request, please disclose what part of the Official
information act determines the need whether Claimant information should influence or make up a
Official information act disclosure
Our response

circumstances where it may be necessary for OIA staff to access an individual client file to respond to an
Official Information request.
If you require further information or background on any specific access to your claim file, you can make a
request under the Privacy Act 2020. You can make a request for this on our website, here:
