The person named was admitted to the Early Retirement Scheme with effect from 20 May 2002. Following an on farm inspection carried out on 24 August 2011, my Department notified the person named of a recoupment of pension that was being sought in relation to an over declaration of lands. I understand that previous correspondence which issued to the person named related to an area aid issue and is not relevant to the Early Retirement Scheme application. The person named has the right to appeal this decision to the Agriculture Appeals Office.
