Information reaching the Office must not identify a person
The document says “shall not”Who acts: Secretary of Veterans AffairsHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“any information provided to the Office does not include personally identifiable information of an individual veteran, survivor, dependent, or other beneficiary unless such individual provides appropriate consent to allow such information to be shared with the Office.”
The Secretary must ensure that information given to the Office carries no personally identifiable information about a veteran, survivor, dependent or other beneficiary, unless that person has given appropriate consent for it to be shared with the Office.
What the document actually says
“any information provided to the Office does not include personally identifiable information of an individual veteran, survivor, dependent, or other beneficiary unless such individual provides appropriate consent to allow such information to be shared with the Office.”
That sentence, in plain words
The facts sent to the office must not name a person. A veteran can agree to share their own name. Without that, names stay out.
What this is about
This covers veterans and their families too. It is a limit on what the office may hold.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
