An application under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 13 May 2010.

This process was recently completed, following which the balancing payment due issued directly to the nominated bank account of the person named on 31 January.

An application under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 14 April 2010. The 50% advance payment, which issued on 18 October, was on the basis of those parcels cleared for payment at that stage as a number of other land parcels listed on the application of the person named required re-digitisation. Following re-digitisation, two land parcels were found to be over-claimed and, following correspondence, the person named confirmed that he was not entitled to declare the area claimed for these parcels. Consequently, the appropriate reduction penalty was applied, as per the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme. The balancing payment, which issued on 1 December, was calculated on this basis.
