Processing of the 2009 Single Payment Scheme application form of the person named revealed that one land parcel claimed by the person named had another Scheme applicant. In keeping with standard procedure, both individuals were written to and asked to confirm their entitlement to claim the land in question. Both responded claiming the right to claim said land and both submitted legal documentation purporting to support their claim. Given this conflict it has not been possible, to date, to resolve the matter. However, I have arranged for an official of my Department to contact both parties, directly, in an effort to resolve matters.
