An application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 26 April 2006. The payments, which issued to the person named on foot of this application, were reduced following the recoupment of overpayments, which had arisen under the Livestock Premia Schemes. While the person named had previously been notified of these overpayments, I have had arrangements made to have a further letter issued to him outlining in detail the areas where the overpayments arose and the reasons for same.
