The person named submitted an application on 15 October 2004 for consideration of his circumstances under the second tranche of the force majeur-exceptional circumstances measure of the single payment scheme. Long-term incapacity due to ill health was indicated on the application form as giving rise to the circumstances outlined. However, having examined the medical evidence furnished in support of the application, the Department deemed that a more detailed explanation of the circumstances and further medical evidence was required. The person named was advised of these requirements on 10 February 2005 and that, on receipt, his force majeure application would receive further consideration.
