An application under the 2012 Single Payment/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 1 May 2012, following processing of which an overclaim was identified in respect of one land parcel. My Department has already been in written contact with the applicant on the matter. Accordingly, the application cannot be further processed until a response has been received.

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. Immediately a decision is reached on this application, the person concerned will be notified in writing. Should the decision be negative, a fully independent appeals procedure is available.
