During the period December 2001 to April 2003, a total of 135 flocks were depopulated under the scrapie programme and restocking was not permitted for a period of two years. Flock owners received compensation for the capital value of the sheep and for income loss for that period. In addition, those who restocked in the third year are to receive compensation for income loss for that year. A total of 78 flock owners have received their third year income loss payments and a further 41 flocks are due to be inspected before the end of April 2006 to establish the entitlement of the flock owners to third income loss payments. The entitlement of flock owners to further payments in respect of the years after restocking is being pursued.
