The position is that an application under the Single Payment Scheme /Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on the 12th May 2008. As part of the control procedures under EU legislation governing these Schemes, this application was selected for and was the subject of a ground eligibility and cross compliance inspection.

The file is currently being processed and payment will issue from the 1st December 2008. The delay in this case arose because of the need to clarify a number of issues relating to the parcels claimed by the person named.
