 +===== Outcome =====
 +
 +Where a PIO provides only partial information, the applicant may seek the balance via First Appeal — not a fresh RTI.
 +
 +===== Ratio decidendi =====
 +
 +When a PIO provides information in part and withholds the balance without invoking §8 or §10 with reasoned severance, the applicant's remedy is a First Appeal under §19(1) — not a fresh §6 application. Filing fresh RTIs for the withheld portion is procedural waste and does not reset the §7(1) clock.
