The person named submitted an application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Area Scheme on 10/05/12.

Following validation, a dual claim arose on one of the parcels included in this application. My Department has already made contact with the person concerned with a view to resolving the issue and is awaiting further information. When this has been received, the matter can be progressed and, immediately a decision is reached, the person concerned will be notified in writing.

If the applicant is not satisfied with the eventual outcome, a fully independent appeals procedure is available.

The person concerned is an applicant under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme. Currently, this applicant is one of a number, whose cases are impacted by a requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare and who have applied for a derogation in this regard. This application had not been determined in sufficient time to enable payment with the first tranche on 26 September. However, immediately a decision is reached, the person concerned will be notified in writing. Should the decision be negative, a fully independent appeals procedure is available.
