The person named submitted an application for consideration in respect of the inheritance and new entrant measures of the single payment scheme.

Following the initial examination of the papers submitted the person named was requested to furnish additional information. This information has now been received and both applications have been processed. The person named has been successful in respect of both the new entrant and inheritance measures of the scheme. However, the inheritance measure, which is the inherited entitlements combined with those earned by the person named in his own right, was more favourable financially than the new entrant measure.

The person named was notified on the 18 February 2005 that the inheritance measure would be the one reflected in his statement of provisional entitlements scheduled to issue shortly.
