An application under the 2011 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the persons named on 6 May 2011 under their joint herd number. The entire payment due under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was paid on 21 September 2011.

The 50% advance payments under the 2011 Single Payment Scheme are scheduled to commence issuing as and from 17 October 2011, with balancing payments scheduled to commence issuing as and from 1 December 2011.

All other payments or applications for payment that are the subject of the named persons' legal action with the Department are 'sub judice ' and, therefore, I am constrained from commenting in this regard.
