The person named submitted an application under the scheme of early retirement from farming on 24 December 2004. The application was incomplete and further information was requested, most recently on 26 April 2005. The agricultural adviser engaged by the person named to prepare his application subsequently sought an extension of the period for submitting the additional information and this was granted. As soon as the information requested has been received, a decision on eligibility can be made.
