An application from the person named was received on 28 January 2008. Assuming that the application is valid, her start date in REPS will be 1 February 2008. Her REPS 4 payment in 2008 will relate to the number of months in 2008 covered by her new contract, which will be 11 months, and she will receive 75% of her payment when all administrative checks for REPS and the Single Payment Scheme are completed. In practice, this is likely to be in early autumn.

The remaining 25% payment will go out when the last of the year's REPS on-farm inspections has taken place. This means that these payments are likely to be processed in December. To receive her REPS 4 payment, the person named must also submit her Single Payment application to Portlaoise by 15 May 2008.
