The person concerned is ineligible for aid under the Installation Aid Scheme as he had not earned the required minimum 20 income units from farming owned/leased land within the first twelve months of setting up in farming. He was advised of this on 3 July 2006. Following consideration of a subsequent appeal by the applicant, the original decision was upheld and he was notified of this outcome on 18 September 2006. The person concerned has been advised of his right to appeal the decision to the Agriculture Appeals Office.
