An application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on the 10 May 2011. This application was selected for and was the subject of a Ground Eligibility Inspection. This inspection was completed and the results are now being processed.

In the vast majority of inspected cases, including this case, amendments have had to be made to the maps in order that the Land Parcel Identification System that is used for making payments to farmers is kept up-to-date. This work is ongoing and every effort is being made to complete the processing of those who were the subject of a Ground Eligibility Inspection.

An application under the 2011 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 11 May 2011. The application included a part of Coumduff commonage. This commonage has been over-claimed in the 2011 scheme year and payment cannot issue to any applicant, who declared a share in the commonage until this matter is satisfactorily resolved and my Department is attempting to do so with a view to making payment on the earliest possible date.

In addition an over claim was identified on one of the parcels declared by the person named and he was written to in this regard on 28 November 2011.
