An application under the Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 28 April 2010. In order to draw down the full single payment, an applicant must declare one eligible hectare in respect of each payment entitlement held. While the person named holds 30.65 entitlements, as only 20.67 hectares were declared, the payment which issued was based on the area declared.

The person named registered 15 beef breed calves in 2009 under the Suckler Welfare Scheme. This application was the subject of an inspection which has now been completed. The case has been processed for payment which will issue in the coming weeks.

It does not appear that the person named is a participant in any other of my Department's schemes. However, I have arranged for one of my officials to contact the person named directly.
