An application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on the 21 April 2009.

This application was selected for and was the subject of a ground eligibility and full cross compliance inspection. During the course of the ground inspection discrepancies were found in relation to certain parcels being claimed. These parcels needed to be re-digitised on the Land Parcel Identification System.

That process is now completed and the application has been fully processed. Payment under the Disadvantaged Area Scheme and the 70% advance payment under the Single Payment will issue this week.
