An application under the disadvantaged areas scheme was received from the person named on 13 May 2005. Following computer validation, it was found that three land parcels, which had been claimed by the person named, were also the subject of a claim by another scheme applicant. The person named was, therefore, written to on 26 September 2005 to provide the relevant supporting documentation to substantiate his right to claim these parcels. A reply has now been received from the person named, which confirms his entitlement to claim the lands. This issue has now been resolved and the case is being processed for payment.
