The position is that an application for the Transfer of Entitlements by way of lease under the 2006 Single Payment Scheme from the first and second persons named to the third person named was submitted on 5 April 2006. During processing of the Transfer application it was found that the entitlements concerned were not yet registered in the name of the first and second persons named.

The entitlements must firstly be transferred by inheritance to the first and second persons named. An application to transfer the entitlements to the first and second persons named was submitted on 27 June 2007. Following examination of this application an official of my Department made direct contact with the first and second persons named requesting further information.

Upon receipt of the outstanding information my Department will process the inheritance application. Arrangements can then be made to transfer the entitlements by way of lease to the third person named.
