+^ Outcome | Applicant allowed |
+===== Outcome =====
+Armed forces pension file of the retired officer is their own record; AG branch cannot refuse on §8(1)(j).
+===== Ratio decidendi =====
+A retired armed-forces officer's pension fixation file, LPC-cum-data sheet, and service verification records are the officer's own information under §2(f). AG branch refusal under §8(1)(j) is misplaced; the exemption protects third parties. Thirty-day §7(1) timeline must be observed.
