The higher rate of grant under the Installation Aid Scheme is available to eligible applicants set-up in farming for the first time between 1 May and 31 December 2006 provided they meet the relevant conditions of the Scheme.

The person concerned is an applicant under the Installation Aid Scheme. He was set-up in farming for the first time on 4 February 2006; consequently the higher grant rate does not apply.
