Attn MCMAHON,Eoin,

Why are you approving s 15AB extension of time for DVA to only make practical refusal or third party claims?

Section 15AB is for giving agencies extra time to prepare documents for access. Using them to act as a way to create multiple barriers and delays to access is just dishonest.
