There were 16,846 applications received up to 15 May 2009, and of these 14,690 have received their payments for 2009. All outstanding cases are being dealt with, and where possible have been brought to payment stage. Those with queries, or those rejected, were referred back to the applicants. An opportunity was given to applicants whose plans had been rejected on certain grounds to submit adjusted plans by this year's closing date of 17 May, and these are currently being examined.
