2013-2014 Report on the Administration of the Privacy Act

Veterans Review and Appeal Board

Annual Report to Parliament

April 1, 2013 - March 31, 2014

This publication is available upon request in alternate formats.

Message from the Chairperson

On behalf of the Veterans Review and Appeal Board, I am pleased to present the 2013-2014 annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Privacy Act.

This legislation gives Canadian citizens the right to see and correct personal information held by the Government of Canada. It also protects the individual's right to privacy by strictly controlling how the government uses this information. In 2013-2014, the Board continued to receive and process requests under the Privacy Act for individuals exercising their rights under this legislation.

This year was a busy one for the Board, as our Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Unit dealt with an increase in requests under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. Our goal in processing these requests is to provide accurate, complete and timely responses to Canadians in accordance with the law. The ATIP Unit also completed a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) on the VRAB Scheduling Application (VSA).

We continued to build and promote a privacy culture at the Board through ongoing training and communications. Our ATIP Unit carried out Board-wide training about the appropriate use and protection of Veterans' personal information to reinforce our obligations and best practices. We participated in the Horizontal Internal Audit of the Protection of Personal Information in Small Departments conducted by the Office of the Comptroller General and look forward to feedback for further improvements. We also updated our delegation orders for the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act to fully reflect all sections of the Acts and to include both Access to Information and Privacy Regulations.

In 2013-2014, the Board continued to provide applicants with an independent avenue of redress for their disability pension, disability award and War Veterans Allowance decisions. In fulfilling this mandate, we are committed to protecting individual rights by upholding the legislation and developing our capacity in matters of access to information and privacy.

John D. Larlee
Chairperson

The Veterans Review and Appeal Board

Our Objective

The Veterans Review and Appeal Board is an independent, administrative tribunal created in 1995. The Board provides an appeal program for service-related disability decisions made by Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC, the Department). This program gives applicants two levels of redress for disability pension and disability award decisions and the final level of appeal for War Veterans Allowance claims.

The Board's objective is to ensure that Canada's traditional Veterans, Canadian Forces members and Veterans, Royal Canadian Mounted Police applicants, qualified civilians and their families receive the disability pensions, disability awards and other benefits to which they are entitled under the law.

How We Work

The Board operates at arm's-length from the Department to ensure a fair appeal process for applicants. Our work is governed by the Veterans Review and Appeal Board Act and delivered by up to 25 permanent Members appointed by the Governor in Council and approximately 80 staff in 2013-2014. Our daily work involves conducting hearings in locations across Canada and issuing written decisions for applicants based on evidence and according to the legislation governing disability benefits.

Our Hearing Program

The Board provides applicants with two levels of redress: a review hearing and a subsequent appeal hearing if they remain dissatisfied. Our hearings are non-adversarial, which means no one argues against the Veteran. Applicants have access to free case preparation and representation at their hearing by the Bureau of Pensions Advocates (a unique organization of lawyers within VAC) or by Service Officers from Veterans organizations. As independent adjudicators, Board Members are not bound by previous decisions and will change them to benefit applicants if there is credible evidence.

The review hearing is the first and only opportunity in the disability adjudication process for applicants to appear before the decision makers and tell their story. We hold review hearings in locations across Canada, and by video conference, where applicants give oral testimony, bring forward witnesses and new information, and present arguments in support of their case. If applicants are not satisfied with their review decision, they can request an appeal hearing. While the legislation does not permit oral testimony at the appeal level, the hearing is a further opportunity for applicants, through their representative, to submit new information and arguments. Appeal hearings are usually held at the Board's Head Office in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

Our Commitment

The Board is committed to upholding the principles of the Privacy Act while providing applicants with a fair and timely appeal process for disability benefits decisions.

1. Introduction

The Privacy Act protects the privacy of individuals with respect to personal information held by a government institution and provides individuals with a right of access to that information. This Act also protects against unauthorized disclosure of that personal information. In addition, it strictly controls how the government will collect, use, disclose, and dispose of any personal information.

Section 72 of the Privacy Act requires that the head of every government institution prepare an Annual Report, for submission to Parliament, on the administration of the Act within the institution during each fiscal year.

Mandate

The Veterans Review and Appeal Board has full and exclusive jurisdiction to hear, determine and deal with all applications for review and appeal that may be made to the Board under the Pension Act, the Canadian Forces Members and Veterans Re-establishment and Compensation Act - Part 3, the War Veterans Allowance Act and other Acts of Parliament. All matters related to appeals under this legislation are authorized under the Veterans Review and Appeal Board Act.

This Board also adjudicates duty related pension applications under the authority of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Pension Continuation Act and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act.

2. How VRAB fulfills its responsibilities under the Privacy Act

The Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Office is under the Director, Strategic and Corporate Services who acts on behalf of the Chairperson of the Board to oversee the administration of the Privacy Act.

The ATIP Office consists of a Coordinator, a Deputy Coordinator, an ATIP Officer and a Project (Privacy) Officer.

The Board has full responsibility for the administration of the Privacy Act. In January 2014, the Board assumed full responsibility for the release of VRAB decision documents that are held on a Veteran's VAC file. Prior to January these documents were being released through the VAC VRAB office when a Veteran requested a complete copy of their file.

The duties of the ATIP Coordinator’s Office are:

• Process requests for information submitted under the Privacy Act in accordance with the legislation, regulations and Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) policies and guidelines;
• Provide VRAB managers and staff with advice and guidance regarding the interpretation and application of the Privacy Act, and related TBS policies and guidelines;
• Develop policies, procedures and guidelines for the administration of the Act and related TBS policies and guidelines;
• Complete Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) as required;
• Coordinate the resolution of any complaints against VRAB made to the Privacy Commissioner under the Privacy Act;
• Promote awareness to ensure employees understand their roles and responsibilities and the Board fulfills its obligations under the Act;
• Review noteworthy decision documents from a privacy perspective before posting on VRAB's Web site;
• Manage privacy breaches and inform the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, as required.
• Respond to Parliamentary written questions on privacy.
• Review contracts with third parties using TBS guidance documents;
• Prepare and post VRAB's chapter of Info Source on the VRAB web site in accordance with TBS directive on decentralization; and
• Prepare annual reports to TBS and Parliament on the administration of the Privacy Act.

• Need to Know Principle
• Safe Disposal of Protected and Classified Information.

The Board revised its contract with the Corps of Commissionaires to include a more detailed privacy statement, emphasise the importance of information management, and clarify the role and responsibilities of Commissionaires at VRAB hearings.

The VRAB ATIP office also completed a plain language review of all letters sent to requesters. This initiative was launched by the Chair to improve all communications with applicants and their families.

Staff access to electronic client files is based on job functions and continues to be reviewed and modified as position duties and roles change.

During the 2013-2014 fiscal year, 13 breaches impacting 17 individuals were confirmed by VRAB. During the reporting period, VRAB did not distinguish between material and non-material privacy breaches.
