An application under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 12 May 2010. Payments under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme commenced on 22 September, with an advance payment of 75% issuing in respect of those parcels cleared for payment at that stage. As the person named listed four plots on his application, the advance payment issued in respect of the balance of the land declared. Immediately the digitising process is complete, provided no errors are identified, the advance payment due in respect of the land in question will issue to the person named shortly thereafter. The 25% balancing payments under the Scheme are scheduled to commence issuing as and from 20 October 2010.
