The person named submitted an application for an allocation of entitlements from the 2005 Single Payment Scheme National Reserve under Category C.

Category C caters for farmers who sold their milk quota into the Milk Quota Restructuring Scheme and converted their enterprise to a farming sector for which a direct payment under Livestock Premia and/or Arable Aid Schemes would have been payable during the reference period 2000 to 2002. The person named was deemed unsuccessful under this category as the conversion from dairying to another farming sector is already reflected in the value of his Single payment entitlements.

A formal letter setting out my Department's decision has issued to the person named and he has appealed this decision to the Independent Payment Appeals Committee who will carry out a full review of the case and will correspond directly with him following the outcome of their review.

An application under the 2006 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 5 May 2006. Processing is incomplete as documentation in relation to the change in the registration details has not been submitted.

I have now had arrangements made for an official of my Department to make direct contact with the person named with a view to satisfactorily resolving this matter.
