The person named submitted an area aid application form in 2004, which was fully processed with an area determined for payment purposes of 25.60 hectares. In November 2004 the area aid unit received a revised area aid application form and a map for the purpose of cross compliance with REPS from the person named. On the basis of the revised information received two parcels of land were re-digitised as small areas of the original parcels had been either sold or transferred. The area aid unit issued an overclaim letter to the person named on 9 December 2004 and the letter explained the changes made. The revised area determined for payment purposes is 23.30 hectares.

He was paid €2275.33 under the 2004 area based compensatory allowance scheme on 17 September 2004 based on an area of 25.60 hectares. As stated above the revised area eligible for payment is 23.30 hectares resulting in an overpayment of €213.31 on 2.40 hectares. To date €144.00 has been recouped from his slaughter premium on animals slaughtered in December 2004 leaving a balance of €69.31 to be recovered.
