An application under the 2009 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 7 May 2008.

Following initial validation of this application, one parcel was identified as having also been claimed by another scheme applicant. In accordance with standard procedures, both applicants were written to and requested to confirm their entitlement to claim the parcel in question.

In response, the person named indicated that he did not have the right to claim the parcel. The appropriate penalty was then applied. However, the person named was advised of their right of appeal and an appeal was subsequently received. This is currently under consideration and the person named will be notified of the outcome shortly.
