The top-up grant is available to eligible farmers under the Installation Aid Scheme who were set-up in farming for the first time between 1 May and 31 December 2006. Verification of an applicant's date of set-up only takes place when the IAS 2 (application for payment) is received from the applicant. As the applicant in this case has only submitted a preliminary application (IAS 1), it is not possible at this stage to determine eligibility for the top-up grant.
