The person named submitted an application on 9 May 2005 for consideration of his circumstances under the second tranche of the force majeure-exceptional circumstances measure of the single payment scheme. Ill health of his new born son was cited on the application form as giving rise to the circumstances outlined. However, having examined the medical evidence furnished in support of the application, my Department deemed that more detailed medical evidence was necessary. The person named has been advised of this requirement on 30 May 2005 and informed that, on receipt of this medical evidence, his force majeure application will receive further consideration.
