The person named commenced REPS in January 2010 and received payments for the first year of their contract.

Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, has to be completed before any payment can issue in respect of 2011. Following an inspection, a discrepancy was discovered in respect of one parcel of land that requires digitisation and verification of its area. This is currently being done with the intention of an early resolution and to enable payment in respect of 2011 to issue.
