An application under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 6 May 2010. Payments under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme commenced nationally on 18 October 2010. The person named submitted an application with 6 land parcels, 3 of which required re-digitisation. The advance and interim balancing payments under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme issued to the applicant on 18 October 2010 and 1 December 2010 respectively based on eligible that was digitised at that stage. My Department has now completed this re-digitisation process and the final balancing payment under the Single Payment Scheme will issue to the applicant shortly.
