The person named submitted an application for an allocation of entitlements from the Single Payments Scheme National Reserve under category C.
Category C caters for farmers who, between 1 January 2000 and 19 October 2003, sold the milk quota into the Milk Quota Restructuring Scheme and converted their enterprise to a farming sector for which a direct payment under Livestock Premia/or Arable Aid Schemes would have been payable during the reference period 2000 to 2002.
A formal letter setting out my Department's decision issued to the person named and my Department's records indicate that an appeal was submitted by the person named. The Independent Payment Appeals Committee will carry out a full review of the case and will correspond directly with the person named following the outcome of their review.
It should be noted that to date the National Reserve section of my Department has received 981 appeals.
