The person named was deemed successful under this category and was allocated a top-up from the National Reserve.

Under the 2006 Single Payment Scheme National Reserve ,successful applicants under Category C of the 2005 National Reserve are eligible for a top-up from the 2006 National Reserve to reflect the increased value of the Dairy Premium in 2006. My Department has automatically applied this top-up.
