An application for the Single Payment Scheme 2010 signed by the 'Reps Of' of the person named was received, in my Department, on 6 July 2010. Under the Terms and Conditions of the Single Payment Scheme 2010, all applications received after 11th June 2010 will incur a 100% late penalty.

An official from my Department has been in direct contact with the person who signed the application on behalf of the person named in order to establish if there are any particular extenuating circumstances pertaining to this case. Once this additional information is received a decision will issue in relation to the processing of the application.
