Dear Department of Veterans' Affairs,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Department of Veterans' Affairs's handling of my FOI request 'Compensation for Defective Administration claims - 1 July 2018 to 31 December 2018'.

I ask this as my request is incomplete in that it failed to include the dollar amount paid out in successful CDDA claims for the stated period.

Please note I have previously made two successful request for similar information covering earlier periods. On both previous occasions the information was provided in full, i.e. they both included the total dollar amount paid out in successful CDDA claims.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/c...

Yours faithfully,

Alan ASHMORE
