The person named has thirteen suckler cows for the 2008 Suckler Welfare Scheme. To date, payment has issued in respect of five of these animals. However, during the validation process, errors were identified in case of the remaining animals i.e. seven calves were not meal-fed for the minimum requirement of four weeks prior to the weaning date, while no weaning data has been provided in respect of the eight calf. While the person named has responded to my Department's correspondence regarding this matter, as the specific issues i.e. meal feeding and weaning, have not been addressed, further payments cannot issue. However, the remaining eight animals may be reconsidered for payment if the person named satisfactorily addresses the outstanding issues.

An application under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 17 May 2010. The 50% advance payment under the Single Payment Scheme, which issued on 18 October, the interim balancing payment which issued on 1 December and the 75% advance payment under the Disadvantaged Area Scheme which issued on 21 September, were on the basis of those parcels cleared for payment at that stage, as one of the land parcels listed on the application of the person named required re-digitisation. As this process has recently been completed, the application was further processed with the final balancing payments under both Schemes having issued in recent days.
