The regulations governing the Single Payment Scheme make provision for force majeure or exceptional circumstances, which are described as factors outside the producer's control that have an adverse effect on production and are sudden and unforeseen. The reference period for the Single Payment Scheme is the three years 2000-2002. My Department will contact the Deputy's Office to get clarification of the medical evidence submitted. The case will then be re-examined fully.
